Dockerfile

# This is a template for a Dockerfile used to run acts in Actor system.
# The base image name below is set during the act build, based on user settings.
# IMPORTANT: The base image must set a correct working directory, such as /usr/src/app or /home/user
FROM apify/actor-node-basic:v0.21.10
# Second, copy just package.json and package-lock.json since it should be
# the only file that affects "npm install" in the next step, to speed up the build
COPY package*.json ./
# Install NPM packages, skip optional and development dependencies to
# keep the image small. Avoid logging too much and print the dependency
# tree for debugging
RUN npm --quiet set progress=false \
&& npm install --only=prod --no-optional \
&& echo "Installed NPM packages:" \
&& (npm list --all || true) \
&& echo "Node.js version:" \
&& node --version \
&& echo "NPM version:" \
&& npm --version
# Copy source code to container
# Do this in the last step, to have fast build if only the source code changed
COPY . ./
# NOTE: The CMD is already defined by the base image.
# Uncomment this for local node inspector debugging:
# CMD [ "node", "--inspect=0.0.0.0:9229", "main.js" ]
