Starter Strapi (v4.6.1)

• This starter is based on docker to develop, deploy and serve a Strapi application
• I think the best practice here is to duplicate this template and then directly deploy it on your host server and work from there
• It's not very convenient to work localy and then use versioning to keep your data type. Moreover, your database could be wiped due to the instability of Docker's volumes
• We are using Makefile to run Docker scripts

Develop

1. Get your .env file and set the NODE_ENV variable to development
2. Generate the API_KEYS, API_TOKEN_SALT, ADMIN_JWT_TOKEN and JWT_SECRET variables according to Strapi reco
3. Start your application with autoReload enable by runnning:

$ make docker-dev

Deploy

1. Get your .env file and set NODE_ENV variable to production
2. Use environment variables generate while developing
3. Once you put your Strapi application on the hosting server, you can run it by doing:

$ make docker-prod

Warnings

• Please make sure to backup your database, docker's volumes can be unstable and result to a loss of data
• Please make sure to delete your node_modules folder before any run
• You cannot keep your data between development and production environments
