-# ngcontainer
-
-This docker container provides everything needed to build and test Angular applications:
-
-**Note**: This docker image will be no longer actively updated. Consider using other Docker
-images that come with Node installed.
-
-- node 10.9.0
-- npm 6.2.0
-- yarn 1.9.2
-- Java 8 (for Closure Compiler and Bazel)
-- Bazel build tool v0.18.0 - http://bazel.build
-- Google Chrome 69.0.3497.81
-- Mozilla Firefox 47.0.1
-- xvfb (virtual framebuffer) for headless testing
-- Brotli compression utility, making smaller files than gzip
-
-By using this, you avoid installation steps in your CI scripts and get a more consistent dev environment.
-
-## Example
-
-See https://github.com/angular/closure-demo/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml
-where this container is used in CircleCI.
-
-To run locally:
-
-```
-$ docker run -it --rm angular/ngcontainer
-```
-
-## Running tests
-
-Any program that needs to talk to a browser (eg. protractor) should be run under xvfb when executing on a headless machine like on CI. The nice way to factor this is to have your top-level test command which you run locally:
-
-```
-$ yarn test
-```
-
-Then in your CI configuration, you'd run
-
-```
-$ xvfb-run -a yarn test
-```
-
-## For Developers
-
-Install Docker on your machine in order to build/pull/push this image.
-
-Log in to `hub.docker.com` as `teamangular` using the following command:
-
-`$ docker login`
-
-Publish a new version:
-
-`$ tools/ngcontainer/publish.sh [tag eg. 0.2.3]`
