Apache OpenWhisk runtimes for nodejs
Give it a try today
To use as a docker action for Node.js 6
wsk action update myAction myAction.js --docker openwhisk/nodejs6action
To use as a docker action for Node.js 8
wsk action update myAction myAction.js --docker openwhisk/action-nodejs-v8
This works on any deployment of Apache OpenWhisk
To use on deployment that contains the rutime as a kind
To use as a kind action using Node.js 6
wsk action update myAction myAction.js --kind nodejs:6
To use as a kind action using Node.js 8
wsk action update myAction myAction.js --kind nodejs:8
Local development
For Node.js 6
./gradlew core:nodejs6Action:distDocker
This will produce the image whisk/nodejs6action
For Node.js 8
./gradlew core:nodejs8Action:distDocker
This will produce the image whisk/action-nodejs-v8
Build and Push image for Node.js 6
docker login ./gradlew core:nodejs6Action:distDocker -PdockerImagePrefix=$prefix-user -PdockerRegistry=docker.io
Build and Push image for Node.js 8
docker login ./gradlew core:nodejs8Action:distDocker -PdockerImagePrefix=$prefix-user -PdockerRegistry=docker.io
Then create the action using your image from dockerhub
wsk action update myAction myAction.js --docker $user_prefix/nodejs6action
The $user_prefix is usually your dockerhub user id.
Deploy OpenWhisk using ansible environment that contains the kind nodejs:6 and nodejs:8 Assuming you have OpenWhisk already deployed locally and OPENWHISK_HOME pointing to root directory of OpenWhisk core repository.
Set ROOTDIR to the root directory of this repository.
Redeploy OpenWhisk
cd $OPENWHISK_HOME/ansible
ANSIBLE_CMD="ansible-playbook -i ${ROOTDIR}/ansible/environments/local"
$ANSIBLE_CMD setup.yml
$ANSIBLE_CMD couchdb.yml
$ANSIBLE_CMD initdb.yml
$ANSIBLE_CMD wipe.yml
$ANSIBLE_CMD openwhisk.yml
Or you can use wskdev and create a soft link to the target ansible environment, for example:
ln -s ${ROOTDIR}/ansible/environments/local ${OPENWHISK_HOME}/ansible/environments/local-nodejs
wskdev fresh -t local-nodejs
