Containerise a Full-Stack App with Docker

React, Node.js and PostgreSQL packaged into images and run with compose

1-2 weeks build

Overview

Takes a working three-tier app and makes it run identically on any machine. Each tier gets its own Dockerfile, multi-stage builds keep the production images small, compose wires the services together with health checks and named volumes, and configuration moves out of the code into environment files. Everything runs on a laptop with Docker Desktop; no cloud account is needed.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Multi-stage builds that separate the toolchain from the runtime image
  • 02Nginx serving the React build and proxying the API
  • 03Health checks so the API waits for PostgreSQL to be ready
  • 04Separate dev and prod compose files with hot reload in dev
  • 05Secrets and settings kept in env files, never baked into images

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Dockerfiles

    One per tier, with layer ordering chosen for cache reuse.

  2. 02

    Compose

    Services, networks, named volumes and dependency health checks.

  3. 03

    Configuration

    Env files, defaults and a documented variable reference.

  4. 04

    Image hygiene

    Non-root users, .dockerignore and before-and-after image sizes.

  5. 05

    Operations

    Logs, database backup and restore, and a clean rebuild script.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain the difference between an image, a container and a volume
  • Defend your multi-stage build and layer-caching choices
  • Demo the full app coming up from one compose command
