Wanting help making a node.js docker [SOLVED]

[smdion]

Hey All,

 

I use a stats board for bandwidth/other info for people trying to access my domain.  I've mangled together a V5 plugin of UpStatsBoard, but really want to move it to a docker.

Any pointers or starting point or anyone who wants to make one?

CMD ["nodejs", "/opt/UpsBoard-0.2.1/app.js"]

 

I need to be able to edit (and other users) config.js which is pulled down from git.  How do I get access to that file from like /mnt/cache/appdata on unRAID?

[smdion]

It looks like there is no way to tell node.js that the config file is in a different directory.  Would the easiest way to do this be to download the UpStatsBoard files directly to the cache drive then mount that location in the docker container?

 

EDIT: found a way from looking at the plexwatch docker. Just needed "RUN ln -s /config/config.js /opt/UpsBoard-0.2.1/config.js"

 

Still a work in process... need to get VNSTAT working with cron.
