# TEMPLATE OVERVIEW & USAGE NOTES
# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# · CATEGORY: Framework
# · PURPOSE: Production-ready Nuxt application with security hardening
# · DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: Self-contained with multi-stage builds and security
# · COMBINATION: Use standalone for complete Nuxt applications
# · SECURITY: Non-root user, Alpine base, health monitoring
# · BEST PRACTICES: Layer caching, dependency optimization, production defaults
# · OFFICIAL SOURCES: Nuxt documentation and Docker security guidelines

# USAGE EXAMPLES & BEST PRACTICES
# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# Example 1: Build production image
# docker build --target runtime -t my-nuxt-app:prod .
# Example 2: Build development image
# docker build --target development -t my-nuxt-app:dev .
# Example 3: Build with custom arguments
# docker build \
# --build-arg NODE_ENV=production \
# --build-arg BUILD_ID=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) \
# --build-arg NUXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://example.com \
# -t my-nuxt-app:$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) .
# Example 4: Run production container
# docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name nuxt-app my-nuxt-app:prod
# Example 5: Run development container
# docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v $(pwd):/app --name nuxt-dev my-nuxt-app:dev
# Example 6: Build with Nitro preset configuration
# docker build \
# --build-arg NITRO_PRESET=node \
# -t my-nuxt-app:node .
# Best Practices:
# 1. Always use .dockerignore to exclude node_modules, .git, .output, etc.
# 2. Use specific Node.js versions (not 'latest')
# 3. Run health checks in production
# 4. Use multi-stage builds for smaller images
# 5. Set resource limits in docker-compose or Kubernetes
# Customization Notes:
# 1. Adjust exposed ports based on your Nuxt configuration
# 2. Modify health check endpoint as needed
# 3. Add environment variables for your application
# 4. Customize build commands for your Nuxt setup
# 5. Consider using different Nitro presets (node, vercel, netlify, etc.)
# Nuxt 3 Features:
# This template supports Nuxt 3 with Nitro server engine.
# For Nuxt 2, adjust the build and runtime commands accordingly.
# Package Manager Support:
# This template automatically detects and uses:
# - npm (default)
# - yarn (if yarn.lock exists)
# - pnpm (if pnpm-lock.yaml exists)
# Nitro Preset Configuration:
# The template uses the default Nitro preset.
# To use a different preset, set the NITRO_PRESET build argument.
# SSR vs Static Generation:
# For static generation, use Nuxt's generate command and serve static files.
# For SSR, use the runtime stage as configured above.
