Deploy Docker Image from Turbo Repo To DO Apps

Question

I have a local server nodejs repository that I am pushing to Container Registry which in turn triggers a build on DO Apps.

My Dockerfile is not in the root though but under /apps/server/Dockerfile since I am using Turborepo. To point this out to DO, I added this file under the root of the repository: /.do/app.yaml

It contains this:

name: <NAME OF MY IMAGE>
services:
  - name: <NAME OF MY APP>
    type: docker
    repository: registry.digitalocean.com/<REGISTRY NAME>/<IMAGE NAME>:latest
    dockerfile_path: apps/server/Dockerfile

I can see that the deployment is kicked of when I push to the container repository but it fails immediately:

[server] [2023-05-31 18:34:10] starting container: starting sub-container [yarn workspace @my-server start:prod]: creating process: failed to load /usr/bin/yarn: exec format error

What is going on here? It seems like it is recognizing my Dockerfile under apps/server since it has the right start command: yarn workspace @my-server start:prod But why is it trying to load yarn from usr/bin/yarn?

Thanks for any help

Hi there,

If I understand this correctly, I think that you’ve combined two separate concepts which might be conflicting:

You might want to deploy a pre-build image directly from the DigitalOcean container registry:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/deploy-from-container-images/

That way you don’t have to build anything as the image would already be pre-built and available on there.

services:
- http_port: 8080
  image:
    deploy_on_push:
      enabled: true
    registry_type: DOCR
    repository: test-image
    tag: latest
  instance_count: 1
  instance_size_slug: basic-xxs
  name: test-image

Or you might want to deploy using a Dockerfile, in which case, you need to provide a Git repository where your project will be cloned from and then the Dockerfile provided will be used to build the project:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/reference/dockerfile/

name: sample-dockerfile
services:
- name: web
  git:
    repo_clone_url: https://github.com/digitalocean/sample-dockerfile.git
    branch: main
  dockerfile_path: Dockerfile

Let me know if I am missing anything!

Best,

Bobby
