Minimal NodeJS Docker Image

A minimal NodeJS image with Time Zone configurable.

---

This image is build on Alpine Linux 3.11 image. It comes with the necessary stuff to run/develop NodeJS applications and no unnecessary programs. It comes with bundled:

• NodeJS (See the current builded version, or check Docker Hub for other versions)
• NPM
• Yarn

Build Your Own Image

The build process is very simple, just execute the following command:

$ docker build -t image-name . --squash

Note: the --squash argument its available only in API 1.25+. It squash newly built layers into a single new layer. This helps to reduce the final image size. See the documentation for more info.

Configure A Time Zone

Since this image comes with America/Cancun time zone by default, you can customize by your prefered time zone by using the TZ argument like this:

$ docker build -t image-name --build-arg TZ=America/Cancun . --squash

Just replace the TZ value with your desired time zone.
