एक Dockerfile एक पाठ फाइल हो जसमा Docker image बनाउनका लागि निर्देशनहरू छन् — यसले आधार image, निर्भरताहरू, प्रतिलिपि गर्न सकिने फाइलहरू, र अनुप्रयोग कसरी चलाउने हो भनेर वर्णन गर्छ। यसले image builds पुनरुत्पादनयोग्य र संस्करण-नियन्त्रणयोग्य बनाउँछ।
एक आधारभूत Dockerfile
# FROM — the base image to build on
FROM node:20-alpine
# WORKDIR — set the working directory inside the image
WORKDIR /app
# COPY dependency files first (for better layer caching)
COPY package*.json ./
# RUN — execute a command during the BUILD (install dependencies)
RUN npm install
# COPY the rest of the application code
COPY . .
# EXPOSE — document the port the app listens on
EXPOSE 3000
# CMD — the command to run when a CONTAINER starts
CMD ["node", "server.js"]
