Container with Django, npm and gulp

Docker Desktop
1

I changed my local dev. to Docker. I use the Django framework. For frontend I use the gulp build command to “create” my files. Now I tried a lot, looked into the Cookiecutter and Saleor project but still having issues to install npm in a way that I can call the gulp build command in my Docker container.

I already tried to add:

RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | bash -
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    nodejs \

COPY ./package.json /app/
RUN npm install

While npm is installed, I still can’t run the command gulp build in my Container. It just says gulp is an unknown command. So it seems npm doesn’t install the defined packages in my package.json file. Anyone here who already solved that and can give me some tips?

Dockerfile

# Pull base image
FROM python:3.7

# Define environment variable
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
	# Language dependencies
	gettext \
	# In addition, when you clean up the apt cache by removing /var/lib/apt/lists
	# it reduces the image size, since the apt cache is not stored in a layer.
	&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Set the working directory to /app
WORKDIR /app

# Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app
COPY . /app

# Install Python dependencies
RUN pip install pipenv
RUN pipenv install --system --deploy --dev
