autopack#

About#

autopack creates Docker/OCI images of a React web application built using Create React App (CRA) tool. All that without any Dockerfile or any Docker mastery. It is available as a command line application (CLI) that run across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

For motivation and other details, check out the autopack RFC

Installation#

Autopack is distributed via the pre-built binaries that one could install from the Releases page. Download, unzip, move the unzipped executable to have it available in your terminal's path, and then use the auto-pack command from your React project root folder.

Pre-requisties#

autopack relies on Docker to run the built OCI images. So a relevant Docker runtime is required to be installed.

Currently, autopack only works for React projects built using CRA. It requires at least the build command to be present in the package.json.
