How to copy in node Dockerfile (folders both in container) - docker

This is different than questions about copying from host to container.
I'm trying to copy the build folder to the nginx html folder. I don't know what copy command I should use, as cp didn't work.
My dockerfile segment (see the RUN copy command which isn't working)
FROM node:12.14.1 # If syntax is off, please ignore
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app
RUN rm -rf node_modules &&\
npm ci &&\
npm run build # MAKES BUILD IN /app/build
# set up html files
COPY config/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
RUN cp /app/build /usr/share/nginx/html # BROKEN - HOW TO COPY STATIC FILES HERE?

Have you tried using a recursive copy?
RUN cp -r /app/build /usr/share/nginx/html
(Assuming the destination folder already exists. Add a RUN mkdir -p /usr/share/nginx/html line before copying the files if it does not.)

docker image is not rebuilt automatically on file change

I am running docker containers with WSL2. When I make changes to my files in the /client directory the changes are not reflected and I have to do docker compose stop client, docker compose build client and docker compose start client. If I cat a file after changing domething one can see the change.
Here is my Dockerfile:
FROM node:16.17.0-alpine
RUN mkdir -p /client/node_modules
RUN chown -R node:node /client/node_modules
RUN chown -R node:node /root
WORKDIR /client
# Copy Files
COPY . .
# Install Dependencies
COPY package.json ./
RUN npm install --force
USER root
I alse have a /server directory with the following Dockerfile and the automatic image rebuild happens on file change there just fine:
FROM node:16.17.0-alpine
RUN mkdir -p /server/node_modules
RUN chown -R node:node /server/node_modules
WORKDIR /server
COPY . .
# Install Dependencies
COPY package.json ./
RUN npm install --force --verbose
USER root
Any help is appreciated.
Solved by adding the following to my docker-compose.yml:
environment:
WATCHPACK_POLLING: "true"
Docker does not take care of the hot-reload.
You should look into the hot-reload documentation of the tools you are building with.

dockerfile COPY does not copy all the files

I do
git clone https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin.git
cd zipkin
The create a Dockerfile as below
FROM openjdk
RUN mkdir app
WORKDIR /app
COPY ./ .
ENTRYPOINT ["sleep", "1000000"]
then
docker build -t abc .
docker run abc
I then run docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID bash
pwd returns /app which is expected
but I ls and see that the files are not copied
only the directories and the xml file is copied into the /app directory
What is the reason? how to fix it?
Also I tried
FROM openjdk
RUN mkdir app
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app
ENTRYPOINT ["sleep", "1000000"]
That repository contains a .dockerignore file which excludes everything except a set of things it selects.
That repository's docker directory also contains several build scripts for official images and you may find it easier to start your custom image FROM openzipkin/zipkin rather than trying to reinvent it.

How do I restrict which directories and files are copied by Docker?

I have a Dockerfile that explicitly defines which directores and files from the context directory are copied to the app directory. But regardless of this Docker tries to copy all files in the context directory.
The Dockerfile is in the context directory.
My test code and data files are in directories directly below the context directory. It attempts to copy everything in the context directory, not just the directories and files specified by my COPY commands. So I get a few hundred of these following ERROR messages, except specifying each and every file in every directory and sub directory:
ERRO[0043] Can't add file /home/david/gitlab/etl/testdata/test_s3_fetched.csv to tar: archive/tar: missed writing 12029507 bytes
...
ERRO[0043] Can't close tar writer: archive/tar: missed writing 12029507 bytes
Sending build context to Docker daemon 1.164GB
Error response from daemon: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): unexpected EOF
My reading of the reference is that it only copies all files and directories if there are no ADD or COPY directives.
I have tried with the following COPY patterns
COPY ./name/ /app/name
COPY name/ /app/name
COPY name /app/name
WORKDIR /app
COPY ./name/ /name
WORKDIR /app
COPY name/ /name
WORKDIR /app
COPY name /name
My Dockerfile:
FROM python3.7.3-alpine3.9
RUN apk update && apk upgrade && apk add bash
# Copy app
WORKDIR /app
COPY app /app
COPY configfiles /configfiles
COPY logs /logs/
COPY errorfiles /errorfiles
COPY shell /shell
COPY ./*.py .
WORKDIR ../
COPY requirements.txt /tmp/
RUN pip install -U pip && pip install -U sphinx && pip install -r /tmp/requirements.txt
EXPOSE 22 80 8887
I expect it to only copy my files without the errors associated with trying to copy files I have not specified in COPY commands. Because the Docker output scrolls off my terminal window due to aqll thew error messages I cannot see if it succeeded with my COPY commands.
All files at and below the build directory are coppied into the initial layer of the docker build context.
Consider using a .dockerignore file to exclude files and directories from the build.
Try to copy the files in the following manner-
# set working directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
# add and install requirements
COPY ./requirements.txt /usr/src/app/requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
# add app
COPY ./errorfiles /usr/src/app
Also, you will have to make sure that your docker-compose.yml file is correctly built-
version: "3.6"
services:
users:
build:
context: ./app
dockerfile: Dockerfile
volumes:
- "./app:/usr/src/app"
Here, I'm assuming that your docker-compose.yml file is inside the parent directory of your app.
See if this works. :)

Docker build COPY failed

I'm using the build docker image from golang:alpine.
My purpose is just to copy the executed binary file to a new scratch image.
Below its my Dockerfile:
############################
# STEP 1 build executable binary
############################
FROM golang#sha256:d481168873b7516b9f34d322615d589fafb166ff5fd57d93e96f64787a58887c AS builder
RUN apk update && apk add --no-cache git tzdata ca-certificates && update-ca-certificates
ADD . $GOPATH/src/piggybank2go
WORKDIR $GOPATH/src/piggybank2go
COPY . .
# Fetch dependencies.
RUN go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
RUN dep ensure -v
# Build executeable binary
RUN GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -ldflags="-w -s" -o $GOPATH/bin/piggybank2go
# RUN go build -o /go/bin/piggybank2go
############################
# STEP 2 build a small image
############################
FROM scratch
# Copy our static executable
COPY --from=builder /usr/share/zoneinfo /usr/share/zoneinfo
COPY --from=builder /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /etc/ssl/certs/
COPY --from=builder $GOPATH/bin/piggybank2go $GOPATH/bin/piggybank2go
# Port on which the service will be exposed.
EXPOSE 8081
ENTRYPOINT ["$GOPATH/bin/piggybank2go"]
But I got this error:
Step 12/14 : COPY --from=builder $GOPATH/bin/piggybank2go $GOPATH/bin/piggybank2go
COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/overlay2/b37bbe725b51ba50e3082d162e75d4cdee368499e26887c6921486415c089920/merged/bin/piggybank2go: no such file or directory
I think the problem is that the environment variable $GOPATH only exists in the golang image and not the scratch image. So try change the COPY-line to:
COPY --from=builder /go/bin/piggybank2go /go/bin/piggybank2go
Environment variables from the first stage are not available in the second stage. For this reason "$GOPATH" cannot be resolved correctly in the second stage, hence the error.
In the second stage you should know exactly what and to where you are copying:
COPY --from=builder /go/bin/piggybank2go /go/bin/piggybank2go

Docker cache invalidation

I'm having some weird issues with my custom Dockerfile, compiling a .Net core app in alpine containers.
I've tried numerous different configurations to no avail - cache is ALWAYS invalidated when I implement the final FROM instruction (if I comment that and everything below it out, caching works fine). Here's the file:
FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.1-sdk-alpine3.7 AS build
ARG ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=development
ARG ASPNET_CONFIGURATION=Debug
ARG PROJECT_DIR=src/API/
ARG PROJECT_NAME=MyAPI
ARG SOLUTION_NAME=MySolution
RUN export
WORKDIR /source
COPY ./*.sln ./nuget.config ./
# Copy source project files
COPY src/*/*.csproj ./
RUN for file in $(ls *.csproj); do mkdir -p src/${file%.*}/ && mv $file src/${file%.*}/; done
# # Copy test project files
COPY test/*/*.csproj ./
RUN for file in $(ls *.csproj); do mkdir -p test/${file%.*}/ && mv $file test/${file%.*}/; done
RUN dotnet restore
COPY . ./
RUN for dir in test/*.Tests/; do (cd "$dir" && dotnet test --filter TestType!=Integration); done
WORKDIR /source/${PROJECT_DIR}
RUN dotnet build ${PROJECT_NAME}.csproj -c $ASPNET_CONFIGURATION -o /app
RUN dotnet publish ${PROJECT_NAME}.csproj -c $ASPNET_CONFIGURATION -o /app --no-restore
FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.1-aspnetcore-runtime-alpine3.7
ARG ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=development
RUN export
COPY --from=build /app .
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
VOLUME /app/logs
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "MyAssembly.dll"]
Any ideas? Hints? Tips? Blazingly obvious mistakes? I've checked each layer and the COPY . ./ instruction ONLY copies the files I expect it to - and none of them change between builds.
Its also worth noting that if I remove the last FROM instruction (and other relevant lines) the cache works perfectly - but the final image size is obviously considerably bigger than the base microsoft/dotnet:2.1-aspnetcore-runtime-alpine3.7 (172Mb vs 1.8Gb) image. I have tried just commenting out the COPY instruction after the FROM, but it doesn't affect the cache invalidation. The following works as expected:
FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.1-sdk-alpine3.7 AS build
ARG ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=development
ARG ASPNET_CONFIGURATION=Debug
ARG PROJECT_DIR=src/API/
ARG PROJECT_NAME=MyAPI
ARG SOLUTION_NAME=MySolution
RUN export
WORKDIR /source
COPY ./*.sln ./nuget.config ./
# Copy source project files
COPY src/*/*.csproj ./
RUN for file in $(ls *.csproj); do mkdir -p src/${file%.*}/ && mv $file src/${file%.*}/; done
# # Copy test project files
COPY test/*/*.csproj ./
RUN for file in $(ls *.csproj); do mkdir -p test/${file%.*}/ && mv $file test/${file%.*}/; done
RUN dotnet restore
COPY . ./
RUN for dir in test/*.Tests/; do (cd "$dir" && dotnet test --filter TestType!=Integration); done
WORKDIR /source/${PROJECT_DIR}
RUN dotnet build ${PROJECT_NAME}.csproj -c $ASPNET_CONFIGURATION -o /app
RUN dotnet publish ${PROJECT_NAME}.csproj -c $ASPNET_CONFIGURATION -o /app --no-restore
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
VOLUME /app/logs
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "MyAssembly.dll"]

Last bit of info: I'm building containers using docker-compose - specifically by running docker-compose build myservicename, but building the image with docker build -f src/MyAssembly/Dockerfile -t MyImageName . yields the same results.
If you're building locally and the cache isn't working – then I don't know what the issue is :)
But if you're building as part of CI – then the issue may be that you need to pull, build, and push the intermediate stage explicitly:
> docker pull MyImageName:build || true
> docker pull MyImageName:latest || true
> docker build --target build --tag MyImageName:build .
> docker build --cache-from MyImageName:build --tag MyImageName:latest .
> docker push MyImageName:build
> docker push MyImageName:latest
The || true part is there because the images won't be there on the initial CI build. The "magic sauce" of this recipe is docker build --target <intermediate-stage-name> and docker build --cache-from <intermediate-stage-name>.
I can't explain why building and pushing the intermediate stage explicitly is needed to get the cache to work – other than some handwaving about only the final image gets pushed, and not the intermediate stage and its layers. But it worked for me – I learned this "trick" from here: https://pythonspeed.com/articles/faster-multi-stage-builds/
