kathisto (greek for render) is a lightweight docker base image that performs full server-side rendering using Headless Chrome in order to serve pre-rendered pages of your Angular/React web-apps to search engine bots/crawlers.
This project was developed after I came to the realization that bots /crawlers were not indexing anything other than the head and un-rendered body of my Javascript based web-applications.
FROM s32x/kathisto:latest
ADD dist/ /dist/
docker build myapp
docker run --name myapp_container -p 80:80 myapp
If you need further clarification on how kathisto operates or perhaps a concrete example check out the example dir.
