# Node.js Docker Configuration

Follow the instructions here on how to add our profiler to your Dockerfile.

## Binding the Host Trace directory to the Guest Trace directory

To get Prefix to read the traces from your app in docker, you need to use bind-mounts as mentioned in [this article](https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/).

## Example

If the host OS is Linux and you also have a Linux OS in the container, you need to bind `/usr/local/stackify/stackify-node-apm` to the same path in the Guest OS for Prefix to see the logs.

Linux: `/usr/local/stackify/stackify-node-apm`

## To bind these directories

We use the ***--mount*** argument for the docker run command as follows: `docker run -it --rm -p 8000:80 \` `--mount type=bind,source="/usr/local/stackify/stackify-node-apm",target=/usr/local/stackify/stackify-node-apm \` `--name node_sample node-apm`
