Meteor Launchpad
A base Docker image for Meteor applications.
Overview:
The Circle CI Meteor Launchpad is a base Docker image designed for Meteor apps, providing a streamlined environment for building and deploying applications. By leveraging Docker, developers can ensure consistent deployments and reliable builds across various environments.
Features:
- Build Customization: Supports setting custom build options using
launchpad.confor Docker build args, including options to install PhantomJS, GraphicsMagick, MongoDB, and apt-get dependencies. - Delayed Startup: Allows for a delay in the startup of the Node process, useful for scenarios where components like databases need time to initialize.
- Private NPM Packages: Facilitates the installation of private NPM packages by providing the NPM auth token as a build arg.
- Development Builds: Offers an option to avoid downloading Meteor every time during development builds, enhancing efficiency for developers.
- Security Measures: Runs the app on port 3000 by default to ensure security by having non-root users execute processes.
