I am using this docker-compose.yml file to build an image.
Problem is when I don't use the docker-compose.yml instead use the usual docker build command, it works fine. But when I use the same Dockerfile to build the using the docker-compose it doesn't work.
This is my Dockerfile
# Use an official node runtime as a parent image
FROM node:8
WORKDIR /app/
# Install dependencies
COPY package.json /app/
RUN npm install
# Add rest of the client code
COPY . /app/
EXPOSE 3000
CMD npm start
and this is my docker-compose.yml
version: "3.2"
services:
frontend:
build: ./my-app
ports:
- 80:3000
command: npm start
Container exited right after it creates when using the docker-compose
Can someone please help me?
[Update]
This is the error I am getting

Note!
The NextJS application itself is working fine when I run npm run dev within the web directory (which invokes the script "dev": "next dev" in package.json). I only have the error when trying to dockerize it. Moreover, in the docker-compose I also initiate a Redis cache, which is working fine too. Therefore I conclude the error must be how I try to combine Docker and NextJS. Thank you very much in advance :)
Update 1
How I got there
Using the tips from #HansKilian and Exploring Docker container's file system I did the following:
Cd to the web directory
Built an image from the dockerfile docker build .
Explored the image with the following command docker run --rm -it --entrypoint=/bin/bash name-of-image
Once inside, execute ls or ls -lsa
This gave me the following results:
What's in the derived image
dockerfile
next-env.d.ts
next.config.js
node_modules
package-lock.json
package.json
pages
public
tsconfig.json
[Among other files/folders]
So the pages folder actually seems to be in the root of the container, yet still I get the error (pages is a directory in the container in which I can cd and -ls)
P.s. don't forget to delete your image if you're not going to using it anymore
Update 2
Building the image and running it from within the web directory actually works, so it might actually have something to do with the docker-compose?
Here is my working Dockerfile with nextjs:
FROM node:16.14.0
RUN npm install -g npm#8.5.5
RUN mkdir -p /app
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json /app
RUN npm i
COPY . /app
EXPOSE 3000
RUN npm run build
CMD ["npm", "run", "dev"]
And docker-compose.yml :
version: "3.7"
services:
project-name:
image: project-name
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
container_name: project-name
restart: always
volumes:
- ./:/app
- /app/node_modules
- /app/.next
ports:
- "3000:3000"
While I was trying every single line of code ever uploaded to the internet, I came back to my initial set-up (from the question) and suddenly it now does work. Source control confirming I didn't change a thing.
To be sure, I deleted all containers, images and volumes from Docker and ran docker compose up. Yet still it worked. Tried many things to recreated the error, but I couldn't. Thank you all for helping and hopefully this may be come to use for someone else!
I have NestJS monorepo project with structure as below:
...
apps
app1
app2
app3
...
If I got an idea correctly, I have possibility to run all the applications in same time, i.e. I run command and have access to apps by paths like http://my.domain/app1/, http://my.domain/app2/, http://my.domain/app3/ or in some similar way. And I need to put all apps in a docker container(s) and run them from there.
I haven't found something about this proceess. Did I undestand the idea correctly and where could I know more about deployment NestJS monorepo project?
This is how I solved it:
apps
app1
Dockerfile
...
app2
Dockerfile
...
app3
Dockerfile
...
docker-compose.yml
Each Dockerfile does the same:
FROM node:16.15.0-alpine3.15 AS development
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
FROM node:16.15.0-alpine3.15 AS production
ARG NODE_ENV=production
ENV NODE_ENV=${NODE_ENV}
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install --only=production --omit=dev
COPY --from=development /usr/src/app/dist ./dist
CMD ["npm", "run", "start-app1:prod"]
Where the last line should start the application so adjust that to your project naming.
Later you should build each of the images in your CI/CD pipeline and deploy them separately. To run the docker build from the root folder of the project you just need to provide a Dockerfile path for -f parameter, for example:
docker build -f apps/app1/Dockerfile -t app1:version1 .
docker build -f apps/app2/Dockerfile -t app2:version1 .
docker build -f apps/app3/Dockerfile -t app3:version1 .
To run it locally for tests, utilize docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
app1:
image: app1:version1
ports:
- 3000:3000 # set according to your project setup
app2:
...
app3:
...
And start it by calling docker compose up
I am new in docker. I've built an application with VueJs2 that interacts with an external API. I would like to run the application on docker.
Here is my docker-compose.yml file
version: '3'
services:
ew_cp:
image: vuejs_img
container_name: ew_cp
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
volumes:
- '.:/app'
- '/app/node_modules'
ports:
- '8080:8080'
Here is my Dockerfile:
FROM node:14.17.0-alpine as develop-stage
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
RUN yarn install
COPY . .
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["node"]
Here is the building command I run to build my image an container.
docker-compose up -d
The image and container is building without error but when I run the container it stops immediately. So the container is not running.
Are the DockerFile and compose files set correctly?
First of all you run npm install and yarn install, which is doing the same thing, just using different package managers. Secondly you are using CMD ["node"] which does not start your vue application, so there is no job running and docker is shutting down.
For vue applicaton you normally want to build the app with static assets and then run a simple http server to serve the static content.
FROM node:lts-alpine
# install simple http server for serving static content
RUN npm install -g http-server
# make the 'app' folder the current working directory
WORKDIR /app
# copy 'package.json' to install dependencies
COPY package*.json ./
# install dependencies
RUN npm install
# copy files and folders to the current working directory (i.e. 'app' folder)
COPY . .
# build app for production with minification
RUN npm run build
EXPOSE 8080
CMD [ "http-server", "dist" ]
Your docker-compose file could be as simple as
version: "3.7"
services:
vue-app:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
container_name: vue-app
restart: always
ports:
- "8080:8080"
networks:
- vue-network
networks:
vue-network:
driver: bridge
to run the service from docker-compose use command property in you docker-compose.yml.
services:
vue-app:
command: >
sh -c "yarn serve"
I'm not sure about the problem but by using command: tail -f /dev/null in your docker-compose file , it will keep up your container so you could track the error within it and find its problem. You could do that by running docker exec -it <CONTAINER-NAME> bash and track the error logs in your container.
version: '3'
services:
ew_cp:
image: vuejs_img
container_name: ew_cp
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
volumes:
- '.:/app'
- '/app/node_modules'
command: tail -f /dev/null
ports:
- '8080:8080'
In your Dockerfile you have to start your application e.g. npm run start or any other scripts that you are using for running your application in your package.json.
I am new to docker.
I have created a Dockerfile which runs an Angular application inside nginx+docker.
### STAGE 1: Build ###
FROM node:12.7-alpine AS build
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package.json package-lock.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
### STAGE 2: Run ###
FROM nginx:1.17.1-alpine
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
COPY --from=build /usr/src/app/dist/jenkins-test /usr/share/nginx/html
to run this i do docker build -t my-app-multistage-image . and after that to run container I do docker run --name my-app-multistage-container -d -p 8888:80 my-app-multistage-image
It is working fine, now I want to use docker-compose to build and run the container, but no idea how to do that, can anyone please help me.
One code i tried which is obviously not working is
version: '3'
services:
web:
build: .
ports:
- "8888:80"
Thanks
I am wanting to deploy my application however, I want to be able to use a local package (located in my package.json) in my project. When I'm buliding my application, it is unable to find the package. Is there anyway I can fix this?
Docker File
FROM node:12
WORKDIR /var/v5/com.app.api
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
ADD . /var/v5/com.app.api
RUN npm run build
COPY . .
EXPOSE 3011
CMD ["npm", "start"]
Docker Compose
version: '2.2'
services:
app:
container_name: com.app.api
restart: always
build: .
ports:
- '3011:3011'
network_mode: 'host'
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks.
It is because dockerfile is not able to find your package to copy. Give the complete path of the package you are looking for in COPY instruction.
Something like:
COPY /path/to/mypackage/package.json ./
