Bunjs Docker Starter Kit

Bunjs Features

• From Bunjs Documentation:
• Web APIs like fetch, WebSocket, and ReadableStream are built-in
• node_modules bun implements Node.js' module resolution algorithm, so you can use npm packages in Bun. ESM and CommonJS are supported, but Bun internally uses ESM
• In Bun, every file is transpiled. TypeScript & JSX just work
• Bun supports "paths", "jsxImportSource"and more from tsconfig.json files
• Bun.Transpiler Bun's JSX & TypeScript transpiler is available as an API in Bun
• use the fastest system calls available with Bun.write to write, copy, pipe, send and clone files
• Bun automatically loads environment variables from .env files. No more require("dotenv").config()
• Bun ships with a fast SQLite3 client built-in bun:sqlite
• Node-API Bun implements most of Node-API (N-API). Many Node.js native modules just work
• bun:ffi call native code from JavaScript with Bun's low-overhead foreign function interface
• node:fs node:path Bun natively supports a growing list of Node.js core modules along with globals like Buffer and process

• In the server directory, there are 2 versions of the Dockerfile: Dockerfile and Dockerfile.custom.
  • Dockerfile.custom uses the latest stable version of Ubuntu and custom builds the packages, roles needed to run bunjs.
  • To use this Dockerfile.custom, just update the docker-compose.yml file to use this file by replacing as follows: dockerfile: Dockerfile.custom.
