Docker Hub | hosttoday/ht-docker-node

## Usage
The purpose of this Docker image is to provide a robust base for node apps and CI.
It comes in different flavours and all of them have node, npm, git and ssh in PATH.

The **:npmci flavour** has npmci in path and can install any required node version and update PATH accordingly:

```Dockerfile
FROM hosttoday/ht-docker-node:npmci
RUN npmci install [node_version_number] // this installs node using node and sets the default to the new node and npm versions
```

## Flavour Overview:

* **:lts** - node lts version, equals :latest
* **:stable** - node stable version
* **:npmci** - npmci preinstalled
* **:npmcijava - npmci + java
* **:npmpage** - npmci + npmts + npmpage preinstalled
* **:mongo** - npmci + npmts + mongo

## optimized for performance with npmci and npmts
Take a goof look at the **npmts** and **npmci** tools on npm. They make development of TypeScript node modules rediculouly easy :)

The **:npmcijava** flavour works together with **smartwebdriver** so you can test all your cool polymer elements in a headless chrome environment or sauce :)
