I am user of AWS elastic beanstalk, and I have a little problem. I want to build my CSS files with less+node. But I don`t know how to install node in my dockerfile, when building with jenkins.
Here is installation packages what I am using in my docker. I will be glad for any suggestions.
FROM php:5.6-apache
# Install PHP5 and modules along with composer binary
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -y install \ curl \ default-jdk \ git \ libcurl4-openssl-dev \ libpq-dev \ libmcrypt-dev \ libpq5 \ npm \ node \ zlib1g-dev \ libfreetype6-dev \ libjpeg62-turbo-dev \ libpng12-dev
RUN docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/
RUN docker-php-ext-install curl json mbstring opcache pdo_mysql zip gd exif sockets mcrypt
# Install pecl
RUN pecl install -o -f memcache-beta \ && rm -rf /tmp/pear \ && echo 'extension=memcache.so' > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/memcache.iniAfter this I am runing my entrypoint.sh with code
#!/usr/bin/env sh
composer run-script post-install-cmd --no-interaction
chmod 0777 -R /var/app/app/cache
chmod 0777 -R /var/app/app/logs
exec apache2-foregroundBut then I`ve got this error
Error Output: [2016-04-04 11:23:44] assetic.ERROR: The template ":tmp:module.html.twig" contains an error: A template that extends another one cannot have a body in ":tmp:module.ht ml.twig" at line 7. But when I install inside the Docker container node this way
apt-get install git-core curl build-essential openssl libssl-dev git clone cd node ./configure make sudo make install node -vI can build my CSS. So question is..how this installation above make install inside my Dockerfile when I am building it with Jenkins?

I think this works slightly better.
ENV NODE_VERSION=16.13.0
RUN apt install -y curl
RUN curl -o- | bash
ENV NVM_DIR=/root/.nvm
RUN . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" && nvm install ${NODE_VERSION}
RUN . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" && nvm use v${NODE_VERSION}
RUN . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" && nvm alias default v${NODE_VERSION}
ENV PATH="/root/.nvm/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin/:${PATH}"
RUN node --version
RUN npm --version6Note that nvm is a version manager for node.js, designed to be installed per-user, and invoked per-shell. nvm works on any POSIX-compliant shell (sh, dash, ksh, zsh, bash), in particular on these platforms: unix, macOS, and windows WSL.
Running apt-get install node does not install Node.js, because that's not the package you're asking for.
If you run apt-cache info node you can see that what you are installing is a "Amateur Packet Radio Node program (transitional package)"
You should follow the Node.js install instructions to install via package manager.
Or if you like building from git, you can just do that inside Docker:
RUN apt-get install -y git-core curl build-essential openssl libssl-dev \ && git clone \ && cd node \ && ./configure \ && make \ && sudo make installJust 2 lines
RUN curl -sL | bash -
RUN apt-get install -y nodejsAccording to the following answer, I would suggest using npm via the n package, that lets you choose the nodejs version, or use the latest tag or the lts tag. For example for latest:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \ software-properties-common \ npm
RUN npm install npm@latest -g && \ npm install n -g && \ n latestGet the node image and put it at the top of your dockerfile:
FROM node:[tag_name] AS [alias_name]Verify the version by adding following code:
RUN echo "NODE Version:" && node --version
RUN echo "NPM Version:" && npm --versionThen add the following code every time you need to use nodejs in a container:
COPY --from=[alias_name] . .From the codes above, replace the following with:
[tag_name] - the tag value of the node image you want to use. Visit for the list of available tags.
[alias_name] - your preferred image name to use in your dockerfile.
Example:
FROM node:latest AS node_base
RUN echo "NODE Version:" && node --version
RUN echo "NPM Version:" && npm --version
FROM php:5.6-apache
COPY --from=node_base . .
### OTHER CODE GOES HEREI am using following Dockerfile to setup node version 8.10.0.
Here I have used NVM (Node Version Manager ), so we can choose which node version should be installed on that container. Please use absolute path of npm when installing node modules (eg: /root/.nvm/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin/npm install leasot@latest -g)
FROM ubuntu:18.04 ENV NODE_VERSION=8.10.0 RUN apt-get update && \ apt-get install wget curl ca-certificates rsync -y RUN wget -qO- | bash ENV NVM_DIR=/root/.nvm RUN . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" && nvm install ${NODE_VERSION} RUN . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" && nvm use v${NODE_VERSION} RUN . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" && nvm alias default v${NODE_VERSION} RUN cp /root/.nvm/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin/node /usr/bin/ RUN cp /root/.nvm/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin/npm /usr/bin/ RUN /root/.nvm/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin/npm install leasot@latest -gNote: This is a cropped Dockerfile.

FROM ubuntu

ENV PATH="/opt/node-v14.17.1-linux-x64/bin:${PATH}"
RUN curl |tar xzf - -C /opt/ list of all available versions can be found here ->
Directly into /usr/local so it's already in your $PATH
ARG NODE_VERSION=8.10.0
RUN curl | tar -xz -C /usr/local --strip-components 1The accepted answer gives the link to the installation instructions for all systems, but it won't run out of the box since you often (e.g. for ubuntu) don't have all required dependencies installed (namely curl and sudo).
So here's for example how you'd do it for ubuntu:
FROM ubuntu
# Core dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl sudo
# Node
# Uncomment your target version
# RUN curl -fsSL | sudo -E bash -
# RUN curl -fsSL | sudo -E bash -
# RUN curl -fsSL | sudo -E bash -
# RUN curl -fsSL | sudo -E bash -
RUN sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
RUN echo "NODE Version:" && node --version
RUN echo "NPM Version:" && npm --versionthen build with
docker build . --progress=plainto see the output of the echo statements. Of course you could also leave away the echo statements and run it regularly with docker build ., after you've made sure everything is working as intended.
You can also leave away the installation of sudo, but then you'll have to get rid of the sudo occurrences in the script.
FROM ubuntu:20.04
