node-docker-lambda v0.2.1

node-docker-lambda

This is designed as a command line tool to help you wrap your existing AWS Lambda functions within a Docker container to run. You can also simply look at the Dockerfile and _container.js file here for examples in building your own Docker container.

It's useful if you want to sometimes run code in AWS Lambda while other times in a Docker container on your own servers or perhaps through ECS.

Installation

npm install -g node-docker-lambda

Usage

You'll want to run these commands from where your AWS Lambda code exists.

To just copy the boilerplate files over (Dockerfile and _container.js) to your current working directory, run:

ndl copy

This way you can alter the Dockerfile and even the little Lambda "emulator" as you see fit. Then manually build the Docker image.

If you want to build the Docker container right away, just run:

ndl build <name>

Where <name> is the repository name/tag of your container (it's the -t flag for Docker).
