Setup Docker for Local Development (Firebase)

Install docker

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

sudo add-apt-repository \   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \   $(lsb_release -cs) \   stable"

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Test Docker

sudo docker run hello-world

Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

Run Docker by non-root user

sudo groupadd docker

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

NOTE: You need to login and logout again for the new membership permission to take effect. Else, run newgrp docker.

Test without sudo

docker run hello-world

Enable Docker to start on boot

sudo systemctl enable docker

Setup Ubuntu docker to development

docker pull ubuntu

Start Docker image with interactive shell

docker run -it ubuntu

Setup Node 8 runtime

apt install curlcurl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x -o nodesource_setup.shbash nodesource_setup.shapt-get install -y nodejs

Test

node -vnpm -v

Save/Commit Docker Changes

Notice the command prompt root@819af265fe19: /, where 819af265fe19 is the container id. You can check the current container id via docker ps -a (run outside of docker).

Exit docker.

exit

Save the changes as ubuntu:firebase

docker commit -m 'install nodejs & npm' <CONTAINER_ID> ubuntu:firebase

Start docker again with the saved changes

docker run -it ubuntu:firebase

Test if node installation is committed.

node -v

Install Firebase

Map docker directory with host directory: /code/firebase/test, thus we could use IDE at host to edit the files.
Map port 9005 for firebase login
Map port 5000 for firebase hosting

docker run -it -v /code/firebase/test:/code/firebase/test -p 9005:9005 -p 5000:5000 ubuntu:firebase

Install Firebase

npm install -g firebase-tools

firebase login

Firebase init

cd /code/firebase/testfirebase init

Test Hosting

firebase serve -o 0.0.0.0

NOTE: Cannot access docker from host via localhost, thus need http://0.0.0.0:5000

Deploy

firebase deploy --only hosting

NOTE: Remember to save/commit docker image after exit, else firebase setup and installation shall be lost.
