It uses the same authentication and encryption as SSH. In plain terms, scp is like copying a file from one folder to another, except the other “folder” is a computer you can reach over SSH.

How to Reduce Node.js Docker Image Size?

I had a web application which is written in Node.js and I wanted to dockerize it. So went to the Node.js official site and found Dockerizing a Node.js web app article. I created the Dockerfile as it says in the article. Then I built the docker image with docker build, the created image size was 1.09GB Dockerfile which produce 1.09GB docker image FROM node:18 # Create app directory WORKDIR /usr/src/app # Install app dependencies # A wildcard is used to ensure both package.json AND package-lock.json are copied # where available (npm@5+) COPY package*.json ./ RUN npm install # If you are building your code for production # RUN npm ci --omit=dev # Bundle app source COPY . . EXPOSE 8080 CMD [ "node", "server.js" ] Bigger images requires disk space and downloading them takes longer time. 1GB size was too big for me and i thought it could be reduced and investigated. ...

Build Multi-Platform Docker Images with Docker Buildx

Build Multi-Platform Docker Images with Docker Buildx

Intro I developed a Node.js application and wanted to run it on a Raspberry Pi in a Docker container. I built a Docker image on my x64 laptop (Ubuntu) and pushed it to Docker Hub. On the Raspberry Pi, I pulled the image and tried to run the container — but it failed with exit code 139. Problem By default, docker build creates an image for the architecture of the machine you build on. In my case, I produced an amd64 image on an amd64 machine. A Raspberry Pi 3 Model B typically runs a 32‑bit OS, so it expects linux/arm/v7 (armhf). It will only use linux/arm64 if you run a 64‑bit OS. The architecture mismatch caused the runtime error. ...
