About The Channel
The knowledge that I share here is mostly from my personal experiences. I wouldn't say I'm a 20 year professional, rather I am just a DevOps / Software Engineer with a lot of experience who enjoys teaching what I know in my spare time. I believe that sharing some of my basic knowledge on this platform can help others get started. There are many ways to program something and the videos you see here are my take on the NodeJS / Typescript / and sometimes Unity world. If this channel helps you learn, or helps you think differently then my job is done 😊.

Really plain and simple tutorial 🙏🏽 thank you I’m gonna deploy my nuxt3 project tomorrow at the office. As our front Enders want a fast CDI lane. Instead of 20 years old php legacy deployment. 🤞🏽 ill succeed and make it work in a few hours. I’m gonna search for your react docker video now 🤓

[@RottynDawg]

Best video I found on this topic by a long shot, thank you!

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

Thanks! What else do you wanna see?

[@tudor14]

Title may come off as misleading, especially someone new to Docker might think you're 'deploying' a NodeJS app to a service like Google Cloud Run or AWS but really building the image and running the docker container

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

Hmm, I could change the title

[@tudor14]

@@TheNerdyCanuck could do, make it reflect you're just running it locally

[@АлекандрМарченко-д6г]

Can you show how to build the environment for Laravel-nodejs-pusher-echo-websocket project?

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

Is that something you would be interested in?

[@АлекандрМарченко-д6г]

@@TheNerdyCanuck I have already found the solution

"Since I have typescript, I have my build command in package.json" -> good for you :) Mine says "missing script build" and a bit lost what exactly it should be :/

[@mrmartinwatson1]

you might not need a build script since typescript build compiles to javascript anyways. you can just use node on the path to the file you want to run. The tsc command is just going to run whatever he had configured in his typscript settings. so instead of `npm run build`, you don't have to do anything, and following this guide, the file you run is what goes after that cmd ['node', 'myfile.js']. If you are using something that requires a build script like react or typescript then you should first consult a seperate guide on compiling then remove anything that launches the application before returning back here.

[@amishkrishna9718]

but your title is deploy node js app where is deployment where is nginx and all the commands that use in deployment this is clickbate

[@fabrzy3784]

this doesnt really show how to deploy the container tho, but good job

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

That is out of scope for this video as there are 1000 places to do so :)

[@mybackupvideos1103]

lol you didn't explain how to deploy

[@jc3209]

How do you handle environmental variables?

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

There is a docker keyword called ENV I believe

[@electricimpulsetoprogramming]

your speaking skills are very great, I'd watch you talk about anything lol

[@Billcomesback]

When you refer to Version in min 8:05, you mean NodeJs Version or Docker version?

[@АлекандрМарченко-д6г]

Cool. Thank you. Keep on.

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

No problem!

[@nested9301]

so where is the deployment part?

[@martinmendez695]

Is it better to bundle before building a docker image? The node_modules directory is huge. What would be the best way to bundle the nodejs project... I tried webpack, but it is not really good for backend apps, and it does not work with dynamic dependencies (for instance, Sequelize).

[@mybackupvideos1103]

perhaps you need to use different layers for node_modules and for app itself. in case of 0 changes in package(-lock).json files it will skip that step

[@martinmendez695]

@@mybackupvideos1103 I was doing a webapp to be a SAAS, so every client had the same app running on different port on the server. So, the same image was ran using the same node_modules directory with it was a volume mapped to each container. It worked, and I did not find performance issues.
