Is there one equivalent of Google's JIB or BuildPacks for Node.JS ?
It is my understanding that JIB allows to build OCI container images from within the project's build tool like Gradle or Maven, as a developer we only have to include a plugin into the build and are able to package up the application into a container and having JIB implement all the best practices of packing up a Java application into container with no questions asked.
I have search around but have not found something equivalent for the Node.JS ecosystem. It should be possible just into a node developer time dependency and it take care on packaging up my javascript/typescript Express.js for example app into a docker container or OCI image.
Thank you, Oscar
For posterity, I'll list some NodeJS-native Docker image creation packages (these usually can be added to your project's package.json
). In no particular order:
I did try Dockta and it has SUPER simple one-liner docker file/image build (either a simple package.json
script or direct command line), it works nicely.
