Docker example for Angular4 running on Nginx

1. Creation of the angular4 application through command line

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 1.2.3.

The command used for that is:

sudo npm install -g @angular/cli
ng new angular4-on-nginx-with-docker

The installed npm packages are:

npm ls --depth=0

The angular application is working correctly through npm start

2. Compiling the angular4 application

ng build --prod

Probably, the compilation will not go as it should be. In this case, disable the AOT as follows:

ng build --prod --aot=false

3. Building the image and running the container

docker-compose up -d --build

4. Identification of the IP address of the container

docker inspect angular4onnginxwithdocker_nginx_1 | grep IPA
            "SecondaryIPAddresses": null,
            "IPAddress": "",
                    "IPAMConfig": null,
                    "IPAddress": "172.18.0.2",
