Angular Docker Dev Environment

Develop an Angular app entirely on docker

For a more detailed explanation check out my blogpost

Prerequisites

Notes

  • For git-bash users, prefix the interactive docker command with winpty
  • Before installing, you can override the ng new command at the docker-compose.seed.yml entrypoint property

Installing

Create Angular project by running

docker-compose -f docker-compose.seed.yml run seed

After successful initialization remove the docker-compose.seed.yml file

Running

Start the development server run docker-compose up -d --build

Inspect the server logs with docker-compose logs -f dev

Access the dev server from your browser run docker-machine ip and access the given ip at port 4200.
Once the server is running it will poll changes from host and auto reload the page.

Attach the container with

docker-compose exec dev sh

Copying node_modules

You should copy the node_modules directory from your container after every package addition, to do so run:

docker cp dev:/usr/src/app/package-lock.json . && \
docker cp dev:/usr/src/app/node_modules - > temp_node_modules.tar && \
    tar -xf temp_node_modules.tar && \
    rm -f temp_node_modules.tar

This process might take some time, but keep in mind you won't run it so often
