DockerFile for SvelteKit Application

Are you working with SvelteKit and ready to deploy? Having issues with containerizing your application for said deployment? Well, look no further, here’s a Dockerfile that works for SvelteKit apps that I’ve used on Digital Ocean, GCP, and AWS

FROM node:14-alpine as builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json package-lock.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
FROM node:14-alpine
USER node:node
WORKDIR /app
COPY — from=builder — chown=node:node /app/build ./build
COPY — from=builder — chown=node:node /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY — chown=node:node package.json .
ENV PORT 3000
EXPOSE 3000
CMD [“node”,”build”]

Building & Running

sudo docker build — no-cache -t nameofthing .

or

sudo docker build — platform linux/amd64 — no-cache -t nameofthing .

I included the platform in the second build command because I started using an M1 laptop and ran into issues when building images and then pushing those images to third party cloud platforms like AWS.

Run

sudo docker run — restart=always — publish 3000:3000 — name=nameofthing -d nameofthing
