These images contain a minimal Linux, Node.js-based runtime. The supported versions match the Node.js LTS releases.
Specifically, these images contain everything in the base image, plus one of:
- Node.js v14 (
gcr.io/distroless/nodejs:14) and its dependencies. - Node.js v16 (
gcr.io/distroless/nodejs:16) and its dependencies. - Node.js v18 (
gcr.io/distroless/nodejs:18) and its dependencies.
Note: the latest tag maps to Node.js v18 to follow the official node docker images. However we recommend that users of these images should explicitly set the LTS version tag they wish to use.
The entrypoint of this image is set to "node", so this image expects users to supply a path to a .js file in the CMD.
See the Node.js Hello World directory for an example.
