Purpose
To further develop my knowledge about applications in a container-based environment I wanted an application to run in this environment. That's when I thought that a website would fit perfectly as a container. The website also serves the purpose of being a centralized place to present information about my projects for future reference.
Technology
The website is developed in Next.js with Typescript The technology chosen was made for the reasons listed below
- The application requires the runtime environment to be able to execute code. A pure React application is able to run when served from a CDN. Because I wanted to containerize the application, I wanted that my application would require a more sophisticated runtime environment.
- That the website would be served as generated files, witch will improve search engine optimization
- I wanted to further develop my knowledge of Next.js
Artifact
The build pipeline generates a container that contains everything needed to run.
Container
The generated artifact uses node:17-alpine as is base-image
