Node.js Web Development - Fourth Edition

Building and running the authentication service Docker container

In users/package.json add the following line to the scripts section:

This means we need a way to run the server with no environment variables other than those in the Dockerfile. With this scriptsentry, we can do npm run docker and then the Dockerfile environment variables will supply all configuration.

We can build the authentication service as follows:

$ npm run docker-build> user-auth-server@0.0.1 docker-build ...
