I forked this repo and made possible Meteor 3 deployment.

How to migrate.

Replace:

FROM jshimko/meteor-launchpad:latest as build

by

FROM gustawdaniel/meteor-launchpad:latest as build

in your Dockerfile.

If you have to deploy meteor 2 add

PYTHON_VERSION=2.7

in launchpad.conf

By default I am using 3.6.0

Repo:

https://github.com/gustawdaniel/meteor-launchpad/tree/master

@jshimko we can add this to your repo if you want. There is open PR to install python by conda

[gustawdaniel]

Now PYTHON_VERSION isn't required in launchpad.conf because we can derive it from node js version

[gustawdaniel]

Now meteor 3 is installed by npx instead of bash script

[gustawdaniel]

I created simplified Dockerfile and resigned from instalation nodejs during meteor app build. There is my new Dockerfile for stable meteor v3
