A small efficient actor that loads a web page, parses its HTML using Cheerio library and extracts the following meta-data from the <HEAD> tag, such as page title, description, author etc.
Dockerfile
1# This is a template for a Dockerfile used to run acts in Actor system.
2# The base image name below is set during the act build, based on user settings.
3# IMPORTANT: The base image must set a correct working directory, such as /usr/src/app or /home/user
4FROM apify/actor-node-basic:v0.21.10

6# Second, copy just package.json and package-lock.json since it should be
7# the only file that affects "npm install" in the next step, to speed up the build
8COPY package*.json ./
9
10# Install NPM packages, skip optional and development dependencies to
11# keep the image small. Avoid logging too much and print the dependency
12# tree for debugging
13RUN npm --quiet set progress=false \
14 && npm install --only=prod --no-optional \
15 && echo "Installed NPM packages:" \
16 && (npm list --all || true) \
17 && echo "Node.js version:" \
18 && node --version \
19 && echo "NPM version:" \
20 && npm --version
21
22# Copy source code to container
23# Do this in the last step, to have fast build if only the source code changed
24COPY . ./
25
26# NOTE: The CMD is already defined by the base image.
27# Uncomment this for local node inspector debugging:
28# CMD [ "node", "--inspect=0.0.0.0:9229", "main.js" ]package.json
