Install the agent when creating the Docker image (Legacy)

Note

This procedure applies to version 4 and earlier of the Node.js agent.

Another option for installing the Contrast agent for a Node.js app is to run the npm install command as part of the Docker image creation instead of changing the package.json file in the source code repository.  

This may be more desirable if you only want to modify the Docker file to be able to run a security test with the agent.

Example:

FROM node:18 as installer
COPY . /juice-shop
WORKDIR /juice-shop
RUN npm i -g typescript ts-node
RUN npm install --omit=dev --unsafe-perm
RUN npm install @contrast/agent@4.x
RUN npm dedupe

# Neeed to explicitly set Assess mode
ENV CONTRAST__APPLICATION__NAME=juice-assess-docker-slim
ENV CONTRAST__ASSESS__ENABLE=true
ENV CONTRAST__AGENT__LOGGER__STDOUT=true
ENV CONTRAST__AGENT__LOGGER__PATH=/dev/null
ENV DEBUG="contrast:*"

ENV CONTRAST__AGENT__NODE__REWRITE_CACHE__PATH="/juice-shop/rewrite_cache"

RUN npx contrast-transpile build/app.js

RUN rm -rf frontend/node_modules
RUN rm -rf frontend/.angular
RUN rm -rf frontend/src/assets
RUN mkdir logs
RUN chgrp -R 0 ftp/ frontend/dist/ logs/ data/ i18n/
RUN chmod -R g=u ftp/ frontend/dist/ logs/ data/ i18n/
#RUN rm data/chatbot/botDefaultTrainingData.json || true
#RUN rm ftp/legal.md || true
#RUN rm i18n/*.json || true

FROM node:18-slim
ARG BUILD_DATE
ARG VCS_REF

WORKDIR /juice-shop
COPY --from=installer /juice-shop .

EXPOSE 3000

ENV CONTRAST__AGENT__LOGGER__STDOUT=true
ENV CONTRAST__AGENT__LOGGER__PATH=/dev/null
