Dockerfile and script for running Meteor on Docker

Features:

• Meteor 1.x package/bundle support
• Git-based repository + branch/tag via environment variables (REPO and BRANCH)
• Bundle URL via environment variable (BUNDLE_URL)
• Bind-mount, volume, Dockerfile ADD via environment variable (APP_DIR)
• Uses docker-linked MongoDB (i.e. MONGO_PORT...) or explicit setting via environment variable (MONGO_URL)
• NOTE: This does NOT set MONGO_OPLOG_URL. There were too many potention complications. As a result, unless you explicitly set MONGO_OPLOG_URL, Meteor will fall back to a polling-based approach to database synchronization. Note that oplog tailing requires a working replica set on your MongoDB server as well as access to the local database.
• Optionally specify the port on which the web server should run (PORT); defaults to 80
• Deploy-key support (set DEPLOY_KEY to the location of your SSH key file)
  • old GITHUB_DEPLOY_KEY is also supported but deprecated
• Non-root location of Meteor tree; the script will search for the first .meteor directory
• NOTE: PhantomJS is no longer pre-installed. This package was swelling the size of the image by 50%, and it is not maintainable with the standard Docker Node images. Instead, please use one of the docker-friendly (read port-based) spiderable packages on Meteor, such as ongoworks:spiderable; if there is demand, please create an issue on Github, and I'll see about managing a separate branch for it.

Versions:

Regardless of the version number of the tool included in this package, your application will run on whatever version of Meteor it is configured to run under.

Examples:

git repo with non-default (master) branch

docker run --rm \
  -e ROOT_URL=http://testsite.com \
  -e REPO=https://github.com/yourName/testsite \
  -e BRANCH=testing \
  -e MONGO_URL=mongodb://mymongoserver.com:27017/mydatabase \
  -e MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://mymongoserver.com:27017/local \
  ulexus/meteor

local directory on host (/home/user/myapp)

docker run --rm \
  -e ROOT_URL=http://testsite.com \
  -e APP_DIR=/app \
  -v /home/user/myapp:/app \
  -e MONGO_URL=mongodb://mymongoserver.com:27017/appdb \
  -e MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://mymongoserver.com:27017/local \
  ulexus/meteor
