You can use the following Dockerfile to build Docker images and create Docker containers for creating rn-project previewing.

FROM ubuntu:focal
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install curl -y
RUN curl -SLO https://deb.nodesource.com/nsolid_setup_deb.sh
RUN chmod 500 nsolid_setup_deb.sh
RUN ./nsolid_setup_deb.sh 18
RUN apt-get install nodejs -y
RUN apt-get install unzip -y
RUN apt-get install git -y
RUN npm install -g @wavemaker/wm-reactnative-cli@1.6.1

Save the above Dockerfile.build.local.preview

2. Create Docker Image​

Build the Docker image using the below command

docker image build -t <image-name>:1.0 -f Dockerfile.build.local.preview

Build Image with a tag from Docker Hub​

To Build Image with a specific tag from Docker Hub, Pull the wm-rn-web-preview Image by running the following command

docker pull wavemakerapp/wm-rn-web-preview:<tag>
example: docker pull wavemakerapp/wm-rn-web-preview:latest

Setup wm-rn-web-preview Container​

Follow the instructions below to setup a wm-rn-web-preview container.

  • If there is an already exsisting container with name wm-rn-web-preview, it can be removed by running the following command:

    docker rm wm-rn-web-preview

  • For the first time, to create a container wm-rn-web-preview and run it. you need to run the following command:

    docker container run -it --name wm-rn-web-preview -p19009:19009 wavemakerapp/wm-rn-web-preview

    wm-rn-web-preview is the container name created.

    -p19009:19009 The -p option in Docker is used for port binding, and it follows the pattern HostPort:DockerPort.

    wavemakerapp/wm-rn-web-preview is the image name.

  • This will launch a terminal session in docker container, here we can use wm-reactnative-cli commands.

    For example,

    wm-reactnative run web-preview <preview_url> --clean

    <preview_url> is the app preview url (eg:'https://www.wavemakeronline.com/run-ngnfytn5tb/test_master')

    wm-rn-web-preview
