Extra things that come with this course:
Access to the course Slack Chat team, for getting help/advice from me and other students.
Weekly YouTube Live Q&A's where you can ask me questions live.
Bonus videos I put elsewhere like YouTube and share via Udemy announcements.
Tons of reference links to supplement this content.
Updates to content as products change their features on these topics.
What you will learn in this course:
You'll start with a quick review about getting set up with Docker, as well as Docker Compose basics. That way we're on the same page for the basics.
Then you'll jump into Node.
js Dockerfile basics, that way you'll have a good Dockerfile foundation for new features we'll add throughout the course.
You'll be building on all the different things you learn from each Lecture in the course. Once you have the basics down of Compose, Dockerfile, and Docker Image, then you'll focus on nuances like how Docker and Linux control the Node process and how Docker changes that to make sure you know what options there are for starting up and shutting down Node.
js and the right way to do it in different scenarios.
We'll cover advanced, newer features around making the Dockerfile the most efficient and flexible as possible using things like BuildKit and Multi-stage.
Then we'll talk about distributed computing and cloud design to ensure your Node.
js apps have 12-factor design in your containers, as well as learning how to migrate old apps into this new way of doing things.
Next we cover Compose and its awesome features to get really efficient local development and test set-up using the Docker Compose command line and Docker Compose YAML file.
With all this knowledge, you'll progress to production concerns and making images production-ready.
Then we'll jump into deploying those containers and running them in production. Whether you use Docker Engine or orchestration with Kubernetes or Swarm, I've got you covered. In addition, we'll cover HTTP connections and reverse proxies for connection handling and routing with multi-container systems.
Lastly, you'll get a final, big assignment where you'll be building and deploying a large, complex solution, including multiple Node.
js containers that are doing different things. You'll build Docker images, Dockerfiles, and compose files, and deploy them to a server to test. You'll need to check whether connections failover properly. You'll basically take everything you've learned and apply it in one big project!"Bret knows, lives, breaths and loves his technology stack. The passion and belief always comes through in all of his courses which is why I will always recommend his work." Steven Hunt, Udemy student, Docker Swarm Mastery courseWhy should you learn from me?
I'm A Practitioner. Welcome to the real world: I've got more than 20 years of sysadmin and developer experience, over 30 certifications, and have been using Docker and Node.
js for myself and my consulting clients since their early days. With me, youre learning from someone who's helped run many hundreds of container apps across dozens of projects and organizations.
I'm An Educator. With me, youll learn from someone who knows how to make a syllabus: I want to help you. People say I'm good at it. I won a 2018 Leadership Award at DockerCon for helping others learn. For the last few years I've trained thousands of people

it's so far so good

By Simen Daehlin on 11/7/2020

Doing docker is great learning to be specific with nodeJS is even more. Using this day to day now as a developer at work. Great course!

By Darcey on 10/10/2020

Some good info, I purchased straight after completing one of your previous courses on the subject but what I would have really liked to have seen (in detail & example) is a section on setting up a production / commercial ready and safe node application using nginx reverse proxy to another nginx server (explain why another instance/container of nginx instead of direct pointing to other containers) and then 3 containers (1 x node web app, 1 x node json api and 1 x mongo), where mongo is storing files outside for mongo and the node web app for user uploads for both secure files and public stored files (secure files which must be requested by node and not accessible via nginx mapping). Then how to scale this up via swarm and how to actually load balance it. Would have been great to see a node instance fall over and get restarted automatically, stress test etc. Also to see a git auto rebuild of a container. Loved the git repo examples, very handy. Your 2 courses have change my bookmarks and git notes repo's considerably on the subject considerably.

Just I asked a question about an official image exists in docker hub .
My question was mainly about the config value format . And the response was I dont help in personal projects..
very engaging as an answer

Thanks alot for a great course.

By Josh Pantarotto on 8/13/2020

I loved the fact that this assignment was not trivial. I learn by doing and struggling!

By Jack Noll on 8/13/2020

Good class.Thanks!

By jerome Bidault on 8/13/2020

Great course. The content is valuable and usefull, Bret is a good teacher and knows perfectly his topics. After this course i know how to set a container and a docker-compose file for a node app. However, i felt the end of the course was kind of rushing, giving some interresting but still rafly explainations (no practice, no assignment) about production deployment. I personaly will complete this lack of production knowledge with another course.

By Nik Todorov on 8/11/2020

Very well structured material! I'm enjoying the course so far!
