Agent Skills: nvm in Docker and CI/CD

Install and configure nvm in Docker containers and CI/CD pipelines, including non-interactive shell loading via BASH_ENV or ENTRYPOINT. Use when the user asks about nvm in Docker, CI/CD nvm setup, GitHub Actions node version management, or troubleshooting nvm in non-interactive shells.

nvm in Docker and CI/CD

Configure nvm for containerized and CI/CD environments where shells run non-interactively.

Workflow

  1. Install nvm in a Dockerfile:

    ENV NVM_DIR=/usr/local/nvm
ENV NODE_VERSION=20.11.0
RUN mkdir -p $NVM_DIR \
  && curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash \
  && . $NVM_DIR/nvm.sh \
  && nvm install $NODE_VERSION \
  && nvm alias default $NODE_VERSION

# Make nvm available in non-interactive shells
ENV BASH_ENV="$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

  2. Load nvm in CI/CD jobs (e.g., GitHub Actions):

    steps:
  - run: |
      export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
      [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
      nvm install 20
      nvm use 20
      node -v

  3. Validate nvm availability in the container or pipeline:

    docker run --rm my-image bash -c "nvm --version && node -v"

Note: Base installation steps are in nvm-install. This skill targets container and CI usage only.
