Deploying with Docker

You can deploy any BCMS-powered project using Docker by creating a simple Dockerfile and passing your environment variables at runtime.

Example Dockerfile

# Use Node.js base image
FROM node:20

# Create app directory
WORKDIR /app

# Copy project files
COPY . .

# Install dependencies
RUN npm install

# Build project (optional for static sites)
RUN npm run build

# Expose port
EXPOSE 3000

# Start app
CMD ["npm", "start"]

Environment variables

Make sure to pass your BCMS environment variables:

NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_ORG_ID
NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_INSTANCE_ID
NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_API_KEY_ID
NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_API_KEY_SECRET

You can add these using a .env file or directly in your docker run command:

docker run -p 3000:3000 \
  -e NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_ORG_ID=your-org-id \
  -e NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_INSTANCE_ID=your-instance-id \
  -e NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_API_KEY_ID=your-key-id \
  -e NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_API_KEY_SECRET=your-key-secret \
  your-image-name

Notes

Adjust the port if your framework uses a different one.
For static sites, consider serving with serve, nginx, or another static file server.
This works with any frontend framework compatible with BCMS.
