Contenerizar una aplicación React/Next.js

¿Por qué Docker?

Dockerfile para una SPA de React simple

# Stage 1: Build
FROM node:20-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

# Stage 2: Serve with Nginx
FROM nginx:alpine
COPY --from=builder /app/dist /usr/share/nginx/html
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

Configuración de Nginx para el enrutamiento de SPA

# nginx.conf
server {
  listen 80;
  root /usr/share/nginx/html;
  index index.html;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; # SPA routing
  }

  location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|woff2)$ {
    expires 1y;
    add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable";
  }
}

Dockerfile de Next.js en modo standalone

// next.config.js
module.exports = { output: 'standalone' };

# Dockerfile (Next.js standalone)
FROM node:20-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM node:20-alpine AS runner
WORKDIR /app
ENV NODE_ENV=production
COPY --from=builder /app/.next/standalone ./
COPY --from=builder /app/.next/static ./.next/static
COPY --from=builder /app/public ./public
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "server.js"]
