How to Containerize MessageBird WhatsApp Campaign Builder (HSM API)

MessageBird WhatsApp Campaign Builder

HSM API is a WhatsApp campaign builder that uses the MessageBird Conversations API to broadcast messages.

• Download the campaign builder from https://github.com/jakartabird/mb-campaign-builder
• Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/jakartabird/mb-campaign-builder

• Change directory to the mb-campaign-builder
• Edit the index.js file if necessary, e.g. concurrency
• Make sure the uploads folder is there, and remove all the files inside the folder, e.g. leftover CSV files, .DS_Store, etc.
• Edit the package.json and change the Multer version to 1.4.4-lts.1 which is the version that is not affected by CVE-2022-24434

}
}

• Edit the Dockerfile to include the step to start the campaign builder and capture the output to the file

FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/app
COPY package.json .
RUN npm install
COPY . .
CMD sh -c "npm start | tee campaign-builder.out 2>&1"

• Create a .dockerignore to prevent your local modules and debug logs from being copied onto your Docker image and possibly overwriting modules installed within your image

node_modules
npm-debug.log

• Build your image

$ sudo docker build . -t tehhanlin/campaign-builder
