Lightweight Prerender container built on Alpine Linux with Node and Headless Chromium.

• Prerender 5.21.6
• Chromium 141.0.7390.122
• Node 22.21.0
• Alpine Linux 3.22.2

• Docker

Pull and run the image:

docker pull tvanro/prerender-alpine:7.2.0 docker run -p 3000:3000 tvanro/prerender-alpine:7.2.0 

Prerender will now be running on http://localhost:3000. Try the container out with curl:

curl http://localhost:3000/render?url=https://www.example.com/ 

A few default plugins have been activated by default (see server.js):

• https://github.com/prerender/prerender/blob/master/lib/plugins/blacklist.js
• https://github.com/prerender/prerender/blob/master/lib/plugins/httpHeaders.js
• https://github.com/prerender/prerender/blob/master/lib/plugins/removeScriptTags.js

This can be modified by creating your own server.js and mounting this file as a docker volume:

docker run -p 3000:3000 -v $(pwd)/server.js:/home/node/server.js tvanro/prerender-alpine:7.2.0 

The prerender-memory-cache plugin is not activated by default. You can activate it with the environment variable MEMORY_CACHE=1.

You can customize cache behavior with environment variables :

• CACHE_MAXSIZE=1000 : max number of objects in cache
• CACHE_TTL=6000 : time to live in seconds

docker run -p 3000:3000 -e MEMORY_CACHE=1 -e CACHE_MAXSIZE=1000 -e CACHE_TTL=6000 tvanro/prerender-alpine:7.2.0 

The Prerender S3 Cache plugin is not activated by default. You can activate it with the environment variable S3_CACHE=1.

You'll need to sign up with S3 compatible service and set these 3 environment variables:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• S3_BUCKET_NAME
