Step 1 : Create one directory.

mkdir app

Step 2: Create one index.js file.

vim index.js

Step 3: Pull the node image.

docker run -it node:latest

Step 4: Check the container.

docker container ls -a

Step 5: Check the working directory where you have created the app directory and copy the path.

pwd

Step 6: Mount the container into the application.

docker run -it -v /home/deepak/app:/home/app node bash

/home/deepak/app :- This is the local machine path where the application directory is present.

/home/app :- This is the mount directory path, which means the mount container location.

node :- This is the image.

bash :- This is the bash terminal I want to open for the next command.

Step 7: Checking the bash terminal is user

uname

Step 8: Checking if the home directory is present or not.

ls

Refer step 9 screenshot.

Step 9: Go to the home directory.

cd home

Step 10: Checking files under home directory

ls

app :- This is our directory.

node :- This is our image.

Refer step 9 screenshot.

Step 11: Go into the app directory and check the index. js

cd app

cat index.js

(You will get the code of the index.js file.)

Refer step 9 screenshot.

Step 12: Install Nodemon to run the index.js file.

npm install -g nodemon

Step 13: Run the index.js application.

nodemon index.js

Step 14: Open another terminal, try to edit the local index.js file, and save. All changes will apply to the running environment.
