No one answered this? Did you figure anything out?
I am experimenting with a few ideas, based on Pavel's
blog: http://pavelpolyakov.com/2015/12/05/node-js-remote-debug-in-webstorm/
In the node application you can specify some convenience functions, e.g.
"scripts": {
"start": "node server.js",
"debug": "node --debug=5858 server.js"
},
Afterwards, you can override the runtime command line to specify *npm start*
or *npm debug*.
If you use docker-compose, you can specify a *.env* file, a default
variable:
MODE=start
Then in your *docker-compose.yml*
command: npm ${MODE}
Then on the command line you can do *MODE=debug docker-compose up -d *
Make sure that you point the default server from localhost to whatever the
output of *docker-machine ip*, if you are on OS X. If on Linux, then
localhost is fine.
Another idea I thought about was to specify a *DEBUG_OPTS* environment
variable, which is an empty string, but if *NODE_DEBUG=1*, then I set
*DEBUG_OPTS* to be equal to "*--debug=5858*". The only way to get
programatic functionality in Docker is to use a wrapper script, and
bootstrap the wrapper script instead of calling node directly. Most shops
that have to do complex things, seed/migrate an external database or other
application orchestration, then wrapper scripts are used. Otherwise, for
simple applications, *package.json* method is easier.
