Usage

To use this image with Docker, place a Dockerfile in the root of your source repository that contains a single line:

FROM bucharestgold/centos7-nodejs:latest

You can then build and run your application with standard Docker commands.

$ cd my-app
$ docker build -t my-app .
$ docker run -p 8080:8080 my-app

This image can also be used with OpenShift. To do that, you'll still need the Dockerfile in the root of your source repository, then run:

$ cd myProject
$ oc new-build --binary --name=my-app -l app=myProject
$ npm install
$ oc start-build my-app --from-dir=. --follow
$ oc new-app my-app -l app=my-app
$ oc expose svc/my-app
