Multi-stage Dockerfile for a Node service

Plaintext

Builds with the full toolchain, ships only production dependencies, and runs as a non-root user.

FROM node:22-slim AS build
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM node:22-slim
WORKDIR /app
ENV NODE_ENV=production
COPY package*.json ./

More in Containers

Compose file with a healthcheck and dependency order Containers Makes the app wait until Postgres actually answers, not merely until its container has started. Remove every stopped container and dangling image Containers Reclaims disk after a week of building. The volume flag is separate because it is the one that loses data. Shell into a running container Containers Falls back to sh, since slim images often have no bash. Find what is taking up space in an image Containers Prints the size each layer adds, which usually points straight at the offending RUN line.

Run a command on every file changed in a commit Shell Lints only what a commit touched, which is usually all you need in a pre-commit hook. Rotate links wordpress Rotate daily link order Responsive grid without media queries Web & CSS auto-fill with minmax reflows on its own, so the column count follows the container rather than a breakpoint list. Merge dictionaries Python The | operator returns a new dict; |= updates in place. Later keys win in both. Replace text across a whole project Text Processing ripgrep finds the files, sed edits them in place. The dry run first is not optional. Pretty-print and query JSON Text Processing jq for the common cases: reformat, pick a path, filter an array, and reshape.
