compose.yaml

services:
  web:
    build: vuejs
    ports:
    - 80:8080
    volumes:
    - ./vuejs:/project
    - /project/node_modules

The compose file defines an application with one service vuejs. When deploying the application, docker compose maps port 8080 of the web service container to port 8080 of the host as specified in the file. Make sure port 8080 on the host is not already being in use.

Deploy with docker compose

$ docker compose up -d

Expected result

Listing containers must show one container running and the port mapping as below:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                  NAMES

After the application starts, navigate to http://localhost:80 in your web browser.

Stop and remove the containers
