Origin S2I NodeJS

This repository contains sources for an s2i builder image, based on CentOS7 and nodejs releases from nodejs.org.

If you are interested in developing against SCL-based nodejs releases, try sti-nodejs.

For more information about using these images with OpenShift, please see the official OpenShift Documentation.

Versions

Node.JS versions currently provided are:

• 6.3.0 current
• 5.12.0
• 4.4.7 lts
• 0.12.15
• 0.10.46

Usage

OpenShift allows you to quickly start a build using the web console, or the CLI.

The oc command-line tool can be used to start a build, layering your desired nodejs REPO_URL sources into a centos7 image with your selected RELEASE of nodejs via the following command format:

oc new-app ryanj/centos7-s2i-nodejs:RELEASE~REPO_URL

For example, you can run a build (including npm install steps), using my http-base example repo, and the current relase of nodejs with:

oc new-app ryanj/centos7-s2i-nodejs:current~http://github.com/ryanj/http-base

Or, to run the latest lts release with my pillar-base example:

oc new-app ryanj/centos7-s2i-nodejs:lts~http://github.com/ryanj/pillar-base

You can try using any of the available tagged nodejs releases, and your own repo sources - as long as your application source will init correctly with npm start, and listen on port 8080.

Builds

The Source2Image cli tools are available as a standalone project, allowing you to run builds outside of OpenShift.

This example will produce a new docker image named pillarjs:

s2i build https://github.com/ryanj/pillar-base ryanj/centos7-s2i-nodejs:current pillarjs

Installation

There are several ways to make this base image and the full list of tagged nodejs releases available to users during OpenShift's web-based "Add to Project" workflow.

For OpenShift Online Next Gen Developer Preview

Those without admin privileges can install the latest nodejs releases within their project context with:

oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanj/origin-s2i-nodejs/master/image-streams.json

To ensure that each of the latest NodeJS release tags are available and displayed correctly in the web UI, try upgrading / reinstalling the imageStream:

oc delete is/centos7-s2i-nodejs ; oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanj/origin-s2i-nodejs/master/image-streams.json

If you've (automatically) imported this image using the oc new-app example command, then you may need to clear the auto-imported image stream reference and re-install it.

For Administrators

Administrators can make these NodeJS releases available globally (visible in all projects, by all users) by adding them to the openshift namespace:

oc create -n openshift -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanj/origin-s2i-nodejs/master/image-streams.json

To replace the default SCL-packaged openshift/nodejs image (admin access required), run:

oc delete is/nodejs -n openshift ; oc create -n openshift -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanj/origin-s2i-nodejs/master/centos7-s2i-nodejs.json

Building your own Builder images

Clone a copy of this repo to fetch the build sources:

$ git clone https://github.com/ryanj/origin-s2i-nodejs.git
$ cd origin-s2i-nodejs

To build your own S2I Node.JS builder images from scratch, run:

$ docker pull openshift/base-centos7
$ make build

You can also build a specific release, or try building the alternate ONBUILD version of this base:

$ ONBUILD=true make VERSION=6.3.0

The ONBUILD base images are available at https://hub.docker.com/r/ryanj/centos7-nodejs

Test

This repository also provides a S2I test framework, which launches tests to check functionality of a simple Node.JS application built on top of the sti-nodejs image.

Users can choose between testing a Node.JS test application based on a RHEL or CentOS image.

• CentOS based image

  $ cd sti-nodejs
  $ make test
