Given there is a react-native-web solution, what needs to be done to build it and run inside a Docker container?

  • What is the build environment/toolchain?
  • Which environment is required to run?

From what I can find so far, it's not clear how this should work.

UPDATE: Project examples.

It's a pretty general question, I will try to answer the best I can: If you want to just build and run an image: Build the project: npx expo-cli init react_native_app --npm

  1. You need to create a Dockerfile file in your repository
  2. Docker build -t {tag_name} . (You can replace '.' eith the Dockerfile path)
  3. Docker run...
  4. If you want you can create docker compose file to better control your app. Reference: https://www.rockyourcode.com/how-to-run-react-native-expo-web-in-a-docker-container/

  • hi there @Avi! welcome to our community! Which dependencies be included in the Dockerfile - say Ubuntu based? Do I have to use expo? I've also added project examples.

  • This base image FROM node:14.13.1-buster-slim is debian based image.

  • the complete Dockerfile featured in the linked blog article is not trivial for nodejs newbies, but is essential to get a hello world app running in the container. Anyway, it works! thx
