Showcase dagger build pipeline for Nx repositories.

This example shows a NestJS backend and an Angular frontend. The pipeline builds and publishes two individual containers. Deployment could be done with docker compose. See the deployment-compose.yaml.

1. NodeJS 18 or later
2. Docker or compatible Container Engine
3. Dagger.io CLI

1. npm install

2. dagger run npx ts-node --esm --project dagger/tsconfig.json dagger/build.mts --docker-prefix=your-registry

3. docker compose -f deployment-compose.yaml up

4. open localhost:8080

So far one argument can be passed to the build.mts

1. docker-prefix (p) : docker registry that you want to push into

Example:

#publish to dockerhub sirion182
dagger run npx ts-node --esm --project dagger/tsconfig.json dagger/build.mts --docker-prefix=sirion182

• add test execution into pipeline
• use containers to execute e2e tests
• add Kubernetes deployment example
• improve command line arguments
  • choose project to build
  • add usage hints
• utilize affected graph of nx
• add example ci integration
  • Github Action
  • Gitlab Pipeline
• add Secret Handling
