Once Docker is running, you can confirm that everything is working by opening a new terminal window and typing the command: docker -version # Docker version 18.09.2, build 6247962 Install the extension. The Remote - Containers extension lets you run Visual Studio Code inside a Docker container. Install the Remote - Containers. Prior to 8.7.0 and 6.11.4 the docker images overrode the default npm log level from warn to info. However due to improvements to npm and new Docker patterns (e.g. Multi-stage builds) the working group reached a consensus to revert the log level to npm defaults. If you need more verbose output, please use one of the following methods to change. Perfect balance between low-level close-to-the-metal container-based pipelines and high-level super-user-friendly UI, GitOps support, pipeline debugging with breakpoints, K8s/Docker/Helm as first-class citizens, built-in secrets, a multitude of integrations, great doc and support material/videos/webinars, nice people.

Npm install yarn -global fails in docker container #8358. Jakabk opened this issue Sep 28, 2020 28 comments Comments. Copy link jakabk commented Sep 28, 2020.

Beautiful UI
Based on Tabler, the interface is a pleasure to use. Configuring a server has never been so fun.
Free SSL
Built in Let’s Encrypt support allows you to secure your Web services at no cost to you. The certificates even renew themselves!
Docker FTW
Built as a Docker Image, Nginx Proxy Manager only requires a database.
Multiple Users
Configure other users to either view or manage their own hosts. Full access permissions are available.
# Quick Setup
- Install Docker and Docker-Compose
- Create a docker-compose.yml file similar to this:
- Bring up your stack
- Log in to the Admin UI
When your docker container is running, connect to it on port 81 for the admin interface.Sometimes this can take a little bit because of the entropy of keys.
Default Admin User:
Immediately after logging in with this default user you will be asked to modify your details and change your password.
- Upgrading to new versions
This project will automatically update any databases or other requirements so you don't have to followany crazy instructions. These steps above will pull the latest updates and recreate the dockercontainers.

Simple Example
So you built your first Vue.js app using the amazing Vue.js webpack template and now you really want to show off with your colleagues by demonstrating that you can also run it in a Docker container.
Let’s start by creating a Dockerfile in the root folder of our project:
It may seem redundant to first copy package.json and package-lock.json and then all project files and folders in two separate steps but there is actually a very good reason for that (spoiler: it allows us to take advantage of cached Docker layers).
Now let’s build the Docker image of our Vue.js app:
Finally, let’s run our Vue.js app in a Docker container:
We should be able to access our Vue.js app on localhost:8080.
Real-World Example
In the previous example, we used a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server to serve our Vue.js app which is perfectly ok for quick prototyping and may even be ok for simple production scenarios. After all, the documentation says:
It is powerful enough for production usage, but it’s simple and hackable enough to be used for testing, local development, and learning.
Nevertheless, for realistically complex production use cases, it may be wiser to stand on the shoulders of some giant like NGINX or Apache and that is exactly what we are going to do next: we are about to leverage NGINX to serve our Vue.js app because it is considered to be one of the most performant and battle-tested solutions out there.
Let’s refactor our Dockerfile to use NGINX:
Ok, let’s see what’s going on here:
- we have split our original
Dockerfilein multiple stages by leveraging the Docker multi-stage builds feature; - the first stage is responsible for building a production-ready artifact of our Vue.js app;
- the second stage is responsible for serving such artifact using NGINX.
Now let’s build the Docker image of our Vue.js app:
Finally, let’s run our Vue.js app in a Docker container:
We should be able to access our Vue.js app on localhost:8080.
Additional Context
If you are reading this cookbook, chances are you already know why you decided to dockerize your Vue.js app. But if you simply landed on this page after hitting the Google’s I'm feeling lucky button, let me share with you a couple of good reasons for doing that.
Today’s modern trend is to build applications using the Cloud-Native approach which revolves mainly around the following buzzwords:
- Microservices
- DevOps
- Continuous Delivery
Let’s see how these concepts actually affect our decision of dockerizing our Vue.js app.
Effects of Microservices
By adopting the microservices architectural style, we end up building a single application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms. These services are built around business capabilities and independently deployable by fully automated deployment machinery.
So, committing to this architectural approach most of the time implies developing and delivering our front-end as an independent service.
Effects of DevOps
The adoption of DevOps culture, tools and agile engineering practices has, among other things, the nice effect of increasing the collaboration between the roles of development and operations. One of the main problem of the past (but also today in some realities) is that the dev team tended to be uninterested in the operation and maintenance of a system once it was handed over to the ops team, while the latter tended to be not really aware of the system’s business goals and, therefore, reluctant in satisfying the operational needs of the system (also referred to as “whims of developers”).
So, delivering our Vue.js app as a Docker image helps reducing, if not removing entirely, the difference between running the service on a developer’s laptop, the production environment or any environment we may think of.
Effects of Continuous Delivery
By leveraging the Continuous Delivery discipline we build our software in a way that it can potentially be released to production at any time. Such engineering practice is enabled by means of what is normally called continuous delivery pipeline. The purpose of a continuous delivery pipeline is to split our build into stages (e.g. compilation, unit tests, integration tests, performance tests, etc.) and let each stage verify our build artifact whenever our software changes. Ultimately, each stage increases our confidence in the production readiness of our build artifact and, therefore, reduces the risk of breaking things in production (or any other environment for that matters).
So, creating a Docker image for our Vue.js app is a good choice here because that would represent our final build artifact, the same artifact that would be verified against our continuous delivery pipeline and that could potentially be released to production with confidence.

Alternative Patterns
If your company is not into Docker and Kubernetes just yet or you simply want to get your MVP out the door, maybe dockerizing your Vue.js app is not what you need.
Common alternatives are:
Docker Npm Build
- leveraging an all-in-one platform like Netlify;
- hosting your SPA on Amazon S3 and serving it with Amazon CloudFront (see this link for a detailed guide).
Docker Npm Run
