git clone https://github.com/saviobatista/vitae.git
cd vitae
pnpm install
pnpm devCreate a .env.local file with your API keys:
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...This repo includes a production-ready multi-stage Dockerfile and a docker-compose setup for hot-reload development.
Requirements: Docker Desktop and Docker Compose.
-
Copy your env file:
cp .env.example .env # then edit values -
Start the dev server with live reload:
docker compose up web-dev
- The app runs at http://localhost:3000
- Source is bind-mounted; changes trigger instant reload (Turbopack)
- Container uses its own node_modules for consistency
Build and run the minimal runner image:
# Build the prod image
docker build --target runner -t vitae:latest .
# Run with runtime envs from .env
docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 --env-file .env vitae:latestOr via Compose:
docker compose build web
docker compose up -d web-
Secrets are NOT baked into the image.
.envfiles are ignored by Docker context via.dockerignore. -
For runtime configuration, use
--env-file .env(as in the examples) or-e KEY=value. -
For client-exposed variables (
NEXT_PUBLIC_*) that must be inlined at build time, prefer setting explicit build args in the Dockerfile and pass them with--build-arg. Example snippet you can add if needed:# in Dockerfile (builder stage) ARG NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID ENV NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID=$NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID
Then build with:
docker build --target runner -t vitae:latest . \ --build-arg NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID=abc123
Notes:
- The Dockerfile uses multi-stage builds:
deps→builder→runnerfor production, and adevtarget for local hot reload. - Next.js is built with
output: "standalone"for a slim runtime image.
