Use nodemon to monitor file changes in your container. The app will restart, if you change any .js, .json or .hjs file.

Install Docker on your system.

Install Docker Compose on your system.

1. Run docker-compose build. This will pull the base images, and install image dependencies.

2. Run docker-compose run web npm install. This will install the package.json dependencies in the app sub-folder. Since this folder is mounted into the Docker image as a volume, any changes made in the image or on your local file system are synced.

Run docker-compose up to start the container. The app should then be running at http://localhost:3000.
