A full-featured, open-source content management framework built with Node.js that empowers organizations by combining in-context editing and headless architecture in a full-stack JS environment.
For this example, I'll be deploying a repo based on our boilerplate Apostrophe 2 repo. If you've started your project based on that repo, it should be easy to get up and running by looking at the Docker files (Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, and .dockerignore) in the repo. Also, make sure the version of apostrophe is at least 2.116.1. If you want to follow along without deploying one of your projects, click the "Use this template" button.
For this example, I'll be using a VPS on DigitalOcean running RancherOS with 2 CPUs and 2GB RAM. RancherOS a lightweight OS designed for hosting containers. If you'd prefer to use another distribution, you'll need to make sure Docker Engine is installed. Instructions for installing Docker Engine can be found in the Docker documentation. Any cloud provider will work just fine but I'd suggest the specs above as minimums.
We'll be hosting our Docker image over on DockerHub so you'll need to create an account over there if you don't yet have one. After you're logged in, click on "Create Repository". Then give your image a name, link it to a repo, and add a build rule, making sure to check that the source branch name is correct. This will tell DockerHub to build a new image whenever it sees an update to the linked branch. Finish by clicking "Create & Build".
In this tutorial, we'll deploy an Apostrophe 2 website with Portainer, Nginx Proxy Manager, and Watchtower for an easy-to-manage Docker experience.
