Question - Usage

[josoroma-zz]

Hi!

I am have been working on a serverless app in node, without any problems on my mac, suddenly using the sharp library I got stuck making the endpoint work, sharp is not being builded fine because it needs the right Linux environment for that, which for lambda+sharp must to be Linux.

So I was wondering... Do this plugin will help me to make an sls deploy from mac to behave as a deploy running via a Linux container right?

FROM node:lts-alpine
#
# Install Serverless Framework
#
RUN npm install -g serverless

Some examples would be great, thanks!

You are supposed to build whatever you want to ship in docker, so normally you don't need serverless inside. You should probably use lambci/lambda or its friends as a base image to emulate lambda.

So the instruction is:

• install serverless-docker-artifacts
• write a dockerfile building particular artifact in appropriate Linux
• add an entry to your config as described in README
  • refer to dockfile you wrote
  • say what do you need to copy from container and ship
• use sls deploy as usual

The example of a dockerfile you can see here.

If you think README might be improved then a PR is welcome.
