如何在 Docker 上安装 nodejs？（Windows 容器）

Question

I've just created docker image of my spring boot application and I've implemented some functions that require nodejs. I searched and tried various ways but could not figure it out how to make node command could be run on Docker.

I've pulled node into Docker.

docker pull node

Here is my Dockerfile

FROM openjdk:8-jre 
EXPOSE 8080
ADD target/testdemo-1.0.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war /testdemo-1.0.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "/testdemo-1.1.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war"]

Because of some memory issue, I've had a problem switching to Linux Container, so please tell me how to install nodejs on Windows container. I've just started Docker so please go easy on me.

Thank you in advance.

EDIT I added this line to my Dockerfile

RUN msiexec.exe /a https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.18.3/node-v12.18.3-x64.msi /quiet

Whild building a docker image I get this error.

Step 2/6 : RUN msiexec.exe /a https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.18.3/node-v12.18.3-x64.msi /quiet

Building a docker image is successfully done after all but I still get "'node' is not recognized as an internal or an external command, ..." error if my spring boot application trying to use node command.

Answer 1

While Marek's answer will probably work; please make sure you use the latest version of node, since node 8 is officially EOL.

You can also add the installation command to your Dockerfile, this way your application actually works upon starting the docker container:

FROM openjdk:8-jre 
RUN msiexec.exe /a https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.18.3/node-v12.18.3-x64.msi /quiet
EXPOSE 8080
ADD target/testdemo-1.0.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war /testdemo-1.0.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "/testdemo-1.1.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war"]

You haven't pulled node into Docker . By doing docker pull node you actually download official node image from dockerhub ( https://hub.docker.com/_/node/ ).

What you actually have to do is actually pull node within your docker container. Simplest approach how to do it from command line once you are in your windows container:

msiexec.exe /a https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.3.0/node-v8.3.0-x64.msi /quiet

Let me know if it worked.
