Whereas the top-level Dockerfile is development-oriented, this directory contains definitions to build a production-oriented Docker image of the Argus front-end / user interface application.
To build this image, the build context needs to be that of the git repository root. Something like this would work (when the current working directory is here):
docker build -t argus-frontend -f Dockerfile ..Or, from the top level directory:
docker build -t argus-frontend -f docker/Dockerfile .The image defined here will normally be built and published automatically as
ghcr.io/uninett/argus-frontend:<version> every time a new Argus-frontend
version is release, meaning you don't necessarily have to build it from source
unless you want to make changes to how the image works.
The image will serve the Argus front-end application using a simple NGINX
server, listening internall on port 8080. A runtime-config.json
configuration file will be created each time the container starts, constructed
from the same environment variables as described in
../README.md.
To serve a frontend that connects to an Argus API server at https://argus.example.org you can run something like:
docker run \
-p 80:8080 \
-e REACT_APP_BACKEND_URL='https://argus.example.org' \
-e REACT_APP_BACKEND_WS_URL='wss://argus.example.org/ws' \
--name argus-web \
ghcr.io/uninett/argus-frontend:1.13.0The argus front-end application should now be available to you at http://localhost/
This is not a complete Argus environment. This image only provides the single-page user interface application to operate against an Argus API server. The API server also has dependencies to other services.
For a full production environment example, take a look at https://github.com/Uninett/argus-docker
