node.js - Using docker and docker-compose in order to run npm install and bower install -

i trying use docker node image in order run npm install , bower install.

here relevant portion docker-compose.yml:

node:   image: node:0.10.40   volumes:    - ./package.json:/package.json    - .bowerrc:/.bowerrc    - ./bower.json:/bower.json    - ./build/npm.tmp/node_modules:/node_modules    - ./build/npm.tmp/bignibou-client/src/bower_components:/bignibou-client/src/bower_components   command: bash -c "npm install && bower install"   ports:    - "8888:8888" 

unfortunately following error node:

node_1          | bash: bower: command not found bignibousite_node_1 exited code 127 

indicating command not interpreted properly.

i have tried using post-script in package.json follows:

  "scripts": {     "postinstall": "/node_modules/bower/bin/bower install"   } 

here .bowerrc:

{     "json": "bower.json", "directory": "bignibou-client/src/bower_components" } 

without bower install, npm install run ok. bower install cannot work.

can please help?

edit: postinstall script above gives me error node:

node_1          | npm warn cannot run in wd bignibou-client@0.1.0 /node_modules/bower/bin/bower install (wd=/) 

edit 2: tried solution suggested alexis i.e. using existing image tried specify local bower.json, etc. follows:

docker run -it --rm \    -v ./package.json:/package.json  \    -v .bowerrc:/.bowerrc \    -v ./bower.json:/bower.json  \    -v ./build/npm.tmp/node_modules:/node_modules  \    -v ./build/npm.tmp/bignibou-client/src/bower_components:/bignibou-client/src/bower_components \    digitallyseamless/nodejs-bower-grunt bower install 

i error though:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/bower-config/node_modules/graceful-fs/polyfills.js:224       throw er             ^ error: eisdir, illegal operation on directory     @ error (native)     @ object.fs.readsync (fs.js:552:19)     @ object.fs.readsync (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/bower-config/node_modules/graceful-fs/polyfills.js:218:23)     @ object.fs.readfilesync (fs.js:384:28)     @ /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/bower-config/lib/util/rc.js:75:27     @ array.foreach (native)     @ json (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/bower-config/lib/util/rc.js:74:14)     @ rc (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/bower-config/lib/util/rc.js:31:9)     @ config.load (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/bower-config/lib/config.js:14:20)     @ function.config.read (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/bower-config/lib/config.js:49:19) 

i not sure why , how sort out.

i think should install bower globally in image

create dockerfile:

from node:0.10.40 run npm install -g bower 

and reference in docker-compose.yml file

node:   build: .  // <= path folder containing dockerfile  ... 

otherwise, there popular image on dockerhub digitallyseamless/nodejs-bower-grunt provides it.
