Dockerfile Boilerplate

A custom Dockerfile for any runtime, ready to deploy on Light Cloud.

---

Features

• Bring your own Dockerfile — any language, any runtime
• A small Node.js server included as a working example, ready to replace
• Listens on $PORT, which is what Cloud Run sends traffic to
• Docker-ready for Cloud Run

API Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/	Welcome message

Local Development

# Build the image
docker build -t my-app .

# Run it
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e PORT=8080 my-app

Replace server.js and the Dockerfile with your own — the only requirement is that the container listens on $PORT.
