dockerfile-parse

Parse a Dockerfile into a POJO

install

$ npm install dockerfile-parse

usage

Take this Dockerfile for example:

FROM quarry/monnode
ADD . /srv/app
RUN cd /srv/app && npm install
RUN cd /srv/app && make build
WORKDIR /srv/app
VOLUME /srv/data
ADD /my/source /src/dest
EXPOSE 80
EXPOSE 9989
VOLUME /srv/data2
RUN cd /srv/app && make build2
ENTRYPOINT node index.js

Lets parse it into a JavaScript object to see what it says:

var fs = require('fs')
var parse = require('docker')
 
var dockerFile = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/Dockerfile', 'utf8')
var pojo = parse(dockerFile)
 
console.dir(pojo)
 
/*
 
{
    from:'quarry/monnode',
    workdir:'/srv/app',
    entrypoint:'node index.js',
    add:[{
        source:'.',
        dest:'/srv/app'
    }, {
        source:'/my/source',
        dest:'/src/dest'
    }],
    expose:[80, 9989],
    volume:['/srv/data', '/srv/data2'],
    run:[
        'cd /srv/app && npm install',
        'cd /srv/app && make build',
        'cd /srv/app && make build2'
    ]
}
    
*/
