I'm relatively new with Docker and I just created an Node.js application that should connect with other services also running on Docker.
So I get the source code and a Dockerfile to setup this image and a docker-compose to orchestrate the environment.
I had a few problems in the beginning so I just updated my source code and found out that it's not getting updated in the next build of docker-compose.
For example I commented all the lines that connect to Redis and MongoDB. I run the application locally and it's fine. But when I create it again in a container, I get the errors "Connection refused..."
I tried many things and this is what i get at the momment:
Dockerfile
FROM node:9
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json /app
RUN npm install
COPY . /app
CMD node app.js
EXPOSE 8090
docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
app:
build: .
ports:
- "8090:8090"
container_name: app
redis:
image: redis:latest
ports:
- "6379:6379"
container_name: redis
mongodb:
image: mongo:latest
container_name: "mongodb"
volumes:
- ./data/db:/data/db
ports:
- 27017:27017
up.sh
sudo docker stop app
sudo docker rm app
docker-compose build --no-cache app
sudo docker-compose up --force-recreate
Any ideas on what could be the problem? Why doesn't it use the current source code? It is using some sort of cache.

I am very new to docker and trying to get a working environment for local development. My issue is I can't seem to get nodemon to trigger correctly when there are changes. The nodemon config works outside of docker so I know that isn't the issue.
Here is what I have in my node app folder.
# Dockerfile.local
FROM node:16
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json .
RUN yarn install
COPY . .
RUN yarn build
CMD ["yarn", "watch"]
# docker-compose.yml
version: "3"
services:
db:
image: postgres:12.3
restart: always
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
# ... my config
actions:
build:
context: ./action-handlers
dockerfile: .docker/${DOCKERFILE}
depends_on:
- "hasura"
volumes:
- actions:/./app
environment:
# ...my confg
hasura:
ports:
- 8080:8080
- 9691:9691
build:
context: ./hasura
dockerfile: .docker/${DOCKERFILE}
depends_on:
- "db"
environment:
# ...my config
volumes:
db_data:
actions:
The docker image works perfectly when I run docker-compose build to build the image, then to run it using docker-compose up. Nodemon runs, the other two services run as expect so there isn't any issues there. It just doesn't restart when I make code changes. I have a feeling I am not using volumes correctly.
I have a feeling that - "./actions:/app/action-handers" is incorrect.
I have a docker-compose setup with three containers - mysql db, serverless app and test (to test the serverless app with mocha). On executing with docker-compose up --build, its seems like the order of execution is messed up and not in correct sequence. Both mysql db and serverless app need to be in working state in order for test to run correctly (depends_on barely works).
Hence I tried using dockerize module to set a timeout and listen to tcp ports on 3306 and 4200 before starting the test container. But I'm getting an error saying Cannot find module '/dockerize'.
Is there anything wrong with the way my docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile are setup? I'm very new to docker so any help would be welcomed.

Your final test container is running a bare node image. This doesn't see or use any of the packages you install in the Dockerfile. You can set that container to also build: .; Compose will run through the build sequence a second time, but since all of the inputs are the same as the main serverless-app container, Docker will use the build cache for everything, the build will run very quickly, and you'll have two names for the same physical image.
You can also safely remove most of the options you have in the Dockerfile. You only need to specify image: with build: if you're planning to push the image to a registry; you don't need to override container_name:; the default command: should come from the Dockerfile CMD; expose: and links: are related to first-generation Docker networking and aren't necessary; overwriting the image code with volumes: results in ignoring the image contents entirely and getting host-specific behavior (just using Node on the host will be much easier than trying to convince Docker to act like a local Node development environment). So I'd trim this down to:
version: '3.8'
services:
mysql-coredb:
image: mysql:5.6
ports:
- "3306:3306"
serverless-app:
build: .
depends_on:
- mysql-coredb
ports:
- "4200:4200"
test:
build: .
command: >-
dockerize
-wait tcp://serverless-app:4200
-wait tcp://mysql-coredb:3306
-timeout 15s
npm test
depends_on:
- mysql-coredb
- serverless-app
I am hosting my website http://apgiiit.com/ on Digital Ocean cloud using docker containers. Site is build using Express and MongoDB. But, it seems when I run docker-compose down command all of my database data is getting wiped out somehow. I have no idea why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's my docker-compose and Docker files for the project.
version: '3'
services:
app:
container_name: express_blog
restart: always
build: .
ports:
- '80:5000'
links:
- mongo
mongo:
container_name: mongo
image: mongo
ports:
- '27017:27017'
volumes:
- ./mongodb:/data/db/
volumes:
mongodb:
external: true
Here's the other docker file used to run express.
FROM node:12
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["npm", "run", "dev"]
I am using external volumes for storing mongodb data. I've created another volume using docker volume command and using that volume in the docker-compose file. What am I doing wrong here ?
https://docs.docker.com/compose/networking/
At above official docker document, I found the part
version: "3"
services:
web:
build: .
ports:
- "8000:8000"
db:
image: postgres
ports:
- "8001:5432"
Each container can now look up the hostname web or db and get back the appropriate container’s IP address. For example, web’s application code could connect to the URL postgres://db:5432 and start using the Postgres database.
So I understood this paragraph that I can connect docker containers each other without links: or networks: explicitly. because above docker-compose.yml snippet doesn't have links or networks: part. and the document say web’s application code could connect to the URL postgres://db:5432
So I tried to test simple docker-compose with nodejs express, mongodb together using above way. I thought I can connect mongodb in express app with just mongodb://mongo:27017/myapp But I cannot connect mongodb in express container. I think I followed docker's official manual but I don't know why it's not working. Of course I can connect mongodb using links: or networks: But I heard links is depreciated and I cannot find the proper way to use networks:
I think I might be misunderstood, Please fix me.
Below is my docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
app:
container_name: node
restart: always
build: .
ports:
- '3000:3000'
mongo:
image: mongo
ports:
- '27017:27017'
In express app, I connect to mongodb with
mongoose.connect('mongodb://mongo:27017/myapp', {
useMongoClient: true
});
// also doesn't work with mongodb://mongo/myapp
Plus) Dockerfile

If you want to connect mongo with local then you should have to select network mode.

I'm using docker for the first time, so it could be a stupid question for you.
I configured: dockerfile and docker-compose.
Every time i change my code ( nodejs code ), I need to run the command:
docker-compose up --build
If i want to see the changes, I want to know if there is a way to update my code without have to run that command every time.
Thanks.

You can mount the directory containing your source code in the container and use a tool such as nodemon, which will watch files and restart the application on changes.
See the article Docker Tips : Development With Nodemon for details.
