This recipe includes the Dockerfile and the instructions to start the NG CLI from the container and use your local browser

1. Create the Docker File

FROM node:7.9
RUN mkdir -p /var/app
WORKDIR /var/app
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y vim
COPY ./package.json /var/app
RUN npm install -g @angular/cli
RUN npm install
COPY ./ /var/app
ENV NODE_ENV=development NODE_PATH=./lib:.
EXPOSE 5858
EXPOSE 4200
VOLUME /var/app/node_modules

2. Build the container

docker build -t ctw-recipes .

3. Create an instance of the container

docker stop recipes; docker rm recipes; docker run -it -p 5858:5858 -p 4200:4200 -v \"$PWD:/var/app\" -v recipes-node-modules:/var/app/node_modules --name recipes ctw-recipes bash; exit 0

4. Start Angular CLI (inside the container terminal of course...)

ng serve --host 0.0.0.0

5. To clear the container image and all instances

docker stop recipes; docker rm recipes; docker rmi ctw-recipes; exit 0
