Script not found error after running yarn tsc in Docker

Question

I built my project with docker running yarn tsc. When I ran docker run -p88:5011 accounts2

I get error PM2 error: Error: Script not found: /home/accounts/dist/server/index.js which of course if I follow the process manually shows up.

here is my docker file

FROM node:10.16-alpine
# Install PM2
RUN npm install pm2 -g
# Add bash support to image
RUN apk add --no-cache bash
# Create service directory
RUN mkdir -p /home/accounts

WORKDIR /home/accounts
# Copy working files
COPY package.json /home/accounts
COPY . /home/accounts
# Install dependencies
RUN yarn install
RUN yarn tsc
EXPOSE 5011
# Start command
CMD [ "pm2-runtime", "process.yml" ]

my process.yml

apps:

  - script: ./dist/server/index.js
    name: accounts
    instances: maad
    exec_mode: cluster
    watch: false
    autorestart: true
    out_file: /dev/null
    ignore_watch:
        - logs
        - node_modules
        - worker\.js
        - \.git/index\.lock
        - \.log
        - \.lock
    watch_options:
        followSymlinks: false

Answer 1

You are copying application to /home/accounts, where its not the working directory, it should be

WORKDIR /home/accounts-service
COPY . .

or you set the WORKDIR to

WORKDIR /home/accounts

As when container start pm2-runtime looking at the current working directory, as you are using a relative path in process.yml.

script  (string)    ”./api/app.js”  script path relative to pm2 start
