Docker

Included in this repo is a Dockerfile to use. The default setup requires being run from the project directory, and will serve /public in the container on port 5000. By default, this directory is empty, however can be overriden.

Below is an example docker-compose.yml file you can use with it:

version: "2"
services:
  tstatic:
    image: "tstatic"
    build:
        context: .
        dockerfile: Dockerfile
    volumes:
        - ./site/:/public
    ports:
        - "5000:5000"

Note: tstatic isn't installed into the path, so run it using npm start --
