docker Docker

Docker is a tool that enables you to create, deploy, and manage lightweight, stand-alone packages that contain everything needed to run an application. It can help us to avoid conflicting dependencies & unwanted behavior when running Docusaurus.

Run the local web server in docker

Ensure you have previously installed docker.

To run the local web server:

  1. Build the docker image -- Enter the folder where you have Docusaurus installed. Run docker build -t docusaurus-doc .

    Once the build phase finishes, you can verify the image exists by running docker images.

    We now include a Dockerfile when you install Docusaurus.

  2. Run the Docusaurus container -- To start docker run docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 docusaurus-doc

    This will start a docker container with the image docusaurus-doc. To see more detailed container info run docker ps .

Use docker-compose

We can also use docker-compose to configure our application. This feature of docker allows you to run the web server and any additional services with a single command.

Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your applications services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.

Using Compose is a three-step process:

  1. Define your apps environment with a Dockerfile so it can be reproduced anywhere.

  2. Define the services that make up your app in docker-compose.yml so they can be run together in an isolated environment.

  3. Run docker-compose up and Compose starts and runs your entire app.

We include a basic docker-compose.yml in your project:

version: '3'

services:
  docusaurus:
    build: .
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
      - 35729:35729
    volumes:
      - ./docs:/app/docs
      - ./website/blog:/app/website/blog
      - ./website/core:/app/website/core
      - ./website/i18n:/app/website/i18n
      - ./website/pages:/app/website/pages
      - ./website/static:/app/website/static
      - ./website/sidebars.json:/app/website/sidebars.json
      - ./website/siteConfig.js:/app/website/siteConfig.js
    working_dir: /app/website

To run a local web server with docker-compose run docker-compose up.

To build static HTML pages for publishing run docker-compose run docusaurus bash -c 'yarn publish-gh-pages'
