Build step in dockerfile #6
Description
medusa build outputs a standalone transpiled output, and isn't strictly required by medusa start, which serves straight from the typescript source files.
For production builds, if we want to minimize the size of the docker image we can update the dockerfile to use the transpiled output:
FROM node:20 AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY medusa-config.ts package.json yarn.lock ./
RUN yarn install
COPY . ./
RUN yarn build
WORKDIR /app/.medusa/server
RUN yarn install --production
FROM node:20-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=builder /app/.medusa/server ./
COPY ./docker-entrypoint.sh ./
RUN chmod +x ./docker-entrypoint.sh
ENTRYPOINT [ "./docker-entrypoint.sh" ]
CMD ["start"]
For non-development builds, or if we don't care about image size we can ignore it entirely:
FROM node:20-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY docker-entrypoint.sh ./
RUN chmod +x ./docker-entrypoint.sh
COPY . ./
RUN yarn install
ENTRYPOINT ["./docker-entrypoint.sh"]
CMD ["develop"]
(My environment has a local medusa project, but you can sub the git clone in as required if no changes are required to the medusa setup)
