Docker: Node server is not running after start the server - docker

Question

I have a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml file.
If I execute docker-compose up, it returns:
Creating network "demoapi_webnet" with the default driver
Creating demoapi_web_1 ... done
Creating d2c_postgres ... done
Attaching to demoapi_web_1, d2c_postgres
...
d2c_postgres | 2020-07-28 00:47:48.772 UTC [1] LOG: database system is ready to accept connections
But my node server is not starting.
These are my docker configuration files:
Dockerfile
FROM node:12.13-alpine As development
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json .
COPY package-lock.json .
RUN npm install
COPY dist .
COPY wait-for-it.sh .
CMD ["npm", "run", "start"]
docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
db:
image: postgres
networks:
- webnet
container_name: "d2c_postgres"
environment:
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: 010203
POSTGRES_USER: postgres
POSTGRES_DB: demo
ports:
- "5432:5432"
web:
image: nest-app
ports:
- "3000:3000"
networks:
- webnet
environment:
DB_HOST: db
command: ["./wait-for-it.sh", "db:5432", "--", "npm", "run", "start"]
networks:
webnet:
My only clue is this line:
env: can't execute 'bash': No such file or directory
I can stablish a connection to pgadmin/postgres with that configuration, but the node server is not starting. What am I doing wrong and how can I solve it?

Answer 1

Wait-for-it is base on bash and it's not compatible with alpine as alpine is base on ash or sh that is why you are seeing can't execute 'bash': No such file or directory. You can look into the open issue for alpine support.
Can you make an /bin/sh version for use with alpine linux
For alpine, you can use wait-for
./wait-for is a script designed to synchronize services like docker containers. It is sh and alpine compatible.
services:
db:
image: postgres:9.4
backend:
build: backend
command: sh -c './wait-for db:5432 -- npm start'
depends_on:
- db

Answer 2

After big research, I found a similar issue here:
docker-compose: nodejs container not communicating with Postgres container
For some reason wait for it wasn't working (not sure if is a windows issue), that sh file is not mandatory to wait until database start, you can use depends_on to indicate that the server should start after a specified service:
version: '3'
services:
db:
image: postgres
networks:
- webnet
container_name: "node_postgres"
environment:
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: 010203
POSTGRES_USER: postgres
POSTGRES_DB: demo
ports:
- "5432:5432"
web:
image: nest-app
depends_on:
- db
ports:
- "3000:3000"
networks:
- webnet
environment:
DB_HOST: db
command: ["npm", "run", "start"]
networks:
webnet:
