Image which can serve as a base Docker image for dockerizing Meteor applications.
In the root directory of your Meteor application (the one with .meteor
directory) create a Dockerfile
file
with the following content:
FROM tozd/meteor
And your Meteor application is dockerized.
The intended use of this image is that it is run alongside the tozd/meteor-mongodb image for MongoDB database for your Meteor application.
When running Docker image with your Meteor application, you have to configure the following environment variables:
ROOT_URL
– used by Meteor to construct absolute URLs, it should not contain a trailing/
; example:http://example.com
MAIL_URL
– used to configure e-mail server; example:smtp://user:password@mailhost:port/
METEOR_SETTINGS
– JSON string of your Meteor settingsMONGO_URL
- MongoDB database URL; example:mongodb://mongodb/meteor
MONGO_OPLOG_URL
– MongoDB database oplog URL; example:mongodb://mongodb/local
You can specify those environment variables when running an image, but you can also export them from the script
file volume mounted under /etc/service/meteor/run.config
.
Example of a run.config
file:
MONGODB_ADMIN_PWD='<pass>'
MONGODB_CREATE_PWD='<pass>'
MONGODB_OPLOGGER_PWD='<pass>'
export MONGO_URL="mongodb://meteor:${MONGODB_CREATE_PWD}@mongodb/meteor"
export MONGO_OPLOG_URL="mongodb://oplogger:${MONGODB_OPLOGGER_PWD}@mongodb/local?authSource=admin"
Only export
lines are necessary for this image, but others are used by tozd/meteor-mongodb
image.
You can export also other environment variables.
When you are extending this image, you can add a script /etc/service/meteor/run.initialization
which will be run at a container startup, after the container is initialized, but before the
Meteor application is run.
