Problem I’m using App Platform to serve a React (using Create React App) static website. I’m using Docker in order to have predictable and abstracted builds (as well as other reasons)
But whenever I try to deploy it to DO’s App Platform I get build errors essentially saying that it can’t find the output directory. Such as ‘client | 19:44:34 ! /app/build does not exist within the built container’
App.yaml
name: project_name
static_sites:
- name: client
dockerfile_path: ./client/Dockerfile
github:
repo: valencian-digital/unique-expressions
branch: master
source_dir: client
output_dir: /app/build
Dockerfile
FROM node:14-alpine
WORKDIR /app
VOLUME /app
ENV NODE_ENV=production
COPY . .
CMD ["npm", "run", "build"]
Question How can I get a Dockerfile to work property with App Platform static sites?
