The Dockerfile for my React client:
FROM node:10
WORKDIR /app/client
COPY ["package.json", "package-lock.json", "./"]
RUN npm install --production
COPY . .
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["npm", "start"]
The Dockerfile for my Express backend:
FROM node:10
WORKDIR /app/server
COPY ["package.json", "package-lock.json", "./"]
RUN ls
RUN npm install --production
COPY . .
EXPOSE 5000
CMD ["node", "server.js"]
My docker-compose.yml file in my project's root:
version: '3'
services:
backend:
build:
context: ./backend
dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
image: "isaacasante/mcm-backend"
ports:
- "5000:5000"
frontend:
build:
context: ./client
dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
image: "isaacasante/mcm-client"
ports:
- "3000:3000"
links:
- "backend"
My server.js file under my backend folder:
var express = require("express");
var cors = require("cors");
var app = express();
var path = require("path");
// Enable CORS and handle JSON requests
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());
app.post("/", function (req, res, next) {
// console.log(req.body);
res.json({ msg: "This is CORS-enabled for all origins!" });
});
// Set router for email notifications
const mailRouter = require("./routers/mail");
const readerRouter = require("./routers/reader");
const notificationsRouter = require("./routers/booking-notifications");
app.use("/email", mailRouter);
app.use("/reader", readerRouter);
app.use("/notifications", notificationsRouter);
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") {
app.use(express.static("mcm-app/build"));
app.get("*", (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "mcm-app", "build", "index.html"));
});
}
app.listen(5000, function () {
console.log("server starting...");
});
When I run:
docker-compose up
I get the following output in my terminal:
$ docker-compose up

My backend exits with code 0, and I can't load my app. My backend is running though.
What am I doing wrong, and how can I get my React-Express-Node app running with Docker Compose?
react-scripts start. Have you included the complete setup code here? (For example, are therevolumes:in your local setup that aren't in thedocker-compose.ymlyou've shown here?)react-scripts start, but I guess this is because I'm copying my package.json file for both my client and backend into/appthrough my different Dockerfiles, right? How can I avoid that?volumes. The above code is the full code for the files I've included. Sorry for omitting the question you asked in my earlier reply.
