Dockerization Walkthrough

I have successfully dockerized the AutoScrapeFreeNodes project. Here is a summary of the changes and how to use them.

Changes Made

1. Created .dockerignore:

   • Excluded node_modules, data, .git, etc. to keep the image clean and build fast.

2. Created Dockerfile:

   • Base image: node:18-alpine (lightweight and secure).
   • Installs production dependencies.
   • Exposes port 3000 and 3001.
   • Sets up a volume for persistent data storage.

3. Created docker-compose.yml:

   • Defines the autoscrape service.
   • Maps host port 3000 to container port 3000.
   • Mounts the ./data directory to persist scraped nodes.
   • Sets the timezone to Asia/Shanghai.

4. Updated README.md:

   • Added a "Docker Deployment" section with clear instructions.

How to Run

Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

Run the following command in the project root:

docker compose up -d

The application will be available at http://localhost:3000.

Using Docker CLI

Build the image:

docker build -t autoscrape-free-nodes .

Run the container:

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data --name autoscrape autoscrape-free-nodes
