Hi Simen Daehlin, Thanks for the wonderful article. It helps me a lot in setting up development environment on docker suing Strapi v4.

I was facing this error when using this Dockerfile to start starpi:

tw-backend  | yarn run v1.22.19
tw-backend  | $ strapi develop
tw-backend  | Starting the compilation for TypeScript files in /opt/app
tw-backend  | [2022-09-15 06:19:31.420] debug: ⛔️ Server wasn't able to start properly.
tw-backend  | [2022-09-15 06:19:31.423] error: Could not load js config file /opt/app/node_modules/@strapi/plugin-upload/strapi-server.js: 
tw-backend  | Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module
tw-backend  | 
tw-backend  | Cannot find module '../build/Release/sharp-linuxmusl-x64.node'

So, I solved this issue by by doing these two changes, move node_modules into opt/app and add install sharp

Adding my Dockerfile to save time for those who are facing the same issue

FROM node:16-alpine
# Installing libvips-dev for sharp Compatability
RUN apk update && apk add  build-base gcc autoconf automake zlib-dev libpng-dev nasm bash vips-dev
ARG NODE_ENV=development
ENV NODE_ENV=${NODE_ENV}
WORKDIR /opt/app
COPY ./package.json ./yarn.lock ./
# ENV PATH /opt/node_modules/.bin:$PATH
RUN yarn config set network-timeout 600000 -g && yarn install
RUN yarn add --verbose --platform=linuxmusl --arch=x64 sharp
# WORKDIR /opt/app
COPY ./ .
RUN yarn build
EXPOSE 1337
CMD ["yarn", "develop"]

Thanks the idea is not to move node modules into it as it gives more attack surface, but will re-test it. Did you try the npx tool I created which auto creates the files etc as needed?

Simen Daehlin Yes, I used your tool to create Dockerfile and docker-compose.

When I moved node_modules into /opt/app then it works because error is

error: Could not load js config file /opt/app/node_modules/@strapi/plugin-upload/strapi-server.js

Hi Simen

Many thanks for this post.

Just one question. I've tried to change the port number with no success. Have you ever managed to serve dockerized strapi v4 on a port other than 1337? If so, have you employed anything else on top of the below settings?

.env

PORT=3024

docker-compose.yml

    ...
    ports:
      - "${PORT}:${PORT}"
    ...

I've changed both side of the ports' config as strapi runs on the port set in .env.

Following start strapi, the login panel shows up, but clicking the log in button returns with internal server error (500).

Hello Rich Bernhardt 👋 So I have many times, it really depends how you setup the project.

If you are ONLY using the Dockerfile and not docker compose, you will need to change the .env and also expose the correct port in Dockerfile under EXPOSE.

IF you are using docker-compose you still need to PASS port into as a variable, as I don't think the file is doing it

...
 environment:
      PORT:   ${PORT}
port:
  - "${PORT}:${PORT}"

Else docker-compose won't have access to the environmental variable etc. In docker-compose I also normally then just do

port:
  - "${PORT}:1337"

That way I can control it what the OUT port is and not what strapi uses by default I just proxy it to my own port.

Simen Daehlin Many thanks Simen, for your prompt response.

The extra line in environment PORT: ${PORT} didn't help, but extending the "strapi::cors" value in config > middlewares.js did solve the issue, although this forum does not allow me to share it.

I think this is in strapi and not You also are using postgresDB as a link but I think this was depricated in 3 you want to use volumes instead. Else strapi won't know where the data is etc.

Simen Daehlin

So Postgres loads up fine now, so that's fixed. But I still get the cannot find module: ../data/data error within strapi. I'm still looking for any other file that would be causing this but im still confused.

Did you mount it or does the data folder exist you are trying to bind mount it to ?

alon borin

Apr 25, 2022

Simen Daehlin Can you please clarify? I didn't understand the question

Sorry for a lte reply alon borin Did you create the folder "data" it looks to me like you are trying to mount /data/myproject/data so this means the data folder needs to exist and be empty.

Instead of node:16 I used node:14 and also I am using npm not yarn. I am using this Dockerfile (which is just a bit different from yours):

FROM node:14
# Installing libvips-dev for sharp compatability
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libvips-dev
ARG NODE_ENV=development
ENV NODE_ENV=${NODE_ENV}
WORKDIR /opt/
COPY ./package.json ./
COPY ./package-lock.json ./
ENV PATH /opt/node_modules/.bin:$PATH
RUN npm install
WORKDIR /opt/app
COPY ./ .
RUN npm build
EXPOSE 1337
CMD ["npm", "run", "develop"]

I added knex and pg as dev dependencies:

npm install pg knex --save-dev

Then I built my image like you did and spinned up the containers using docker-compose up -d. Everything is working fine for now and I see the "Create First Administrator" view. But if I click on that button I get a spinning icon and the error message "Warning: An error occurred while requesting the API" - nothing more. The logs show nothing unusual:

I am new at Strapi. I want to dockerize my own strapi project which is created by --quickstart. I followed your tutorial step by step. but when I try to build Dockerfile by docker build -t mystrapi:latest . command it trying to install with a few minutes and then the error message shows

=> ERROR [ 2/10] RUN apt-get update && apt-get install libvips-dev

I'm using Docker Desktop on Windows.

Hi first off all thank you for this tutorial.

I guess i'm missing one last step. I did everything exactly as described in the tutorial except that i don't have an build . in the docker compose but i push an image into my own container registry before it and then use that image.

So this is my docker-compose file:

version: '3'
services:
    strapi:
      container_name: strapi
      image: ghcr.io/confidato/strapi-cms:latest
      restart: unless-stopped
      env_file: .env
      environment:
        DATABASE_CLIENT: ${DATABASE_CLIENT}
        DATABASE_HOST: postgresDB
        DATABASE_NAME: ${DATABASE_NAME}
        DATABASE_USERNAME: ${DATABASE_USERNAME}
        DATABASE_PORT: ${DATABASE_PORT}
        JWT_SECRET: ${JWT_SECRET}
        DATABASE_PASSWORD: ${DATABASE_PASSWORD}
        NODE_ENV: ${NODE_ENV}
      links:
        - postgresDB:postgresDB
      volumes:
        - ./public:/public/upload
        #- ./src:/opt/app/src ### If this line is not in the file it starts.
      ports:
        - "1337:1337"
      depends_on:
        - postgresDB

    postgresDB:
      image: postgres:12.0-alpine
      container_name: postgresDB
      restart: unless-stopped
      env_file: .env
      environment:
        POSTGRES_USER: ${DATABASE_USERNAME}
        POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DATABASE_PASSWORD}
        POSTGRES_DB: ${DATABASE_NAME}
      volumes:
        - ./data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/
      ports:
        - "5432:5432"

networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: network123

If i start it without the line - ./src:/opt/app/src in volumes everthing looks good but if i use docker-compose down my data won't show up again in the admin-dashboard. I guess i have a problem with my volume mapping. If I add the line - ./src:/opt/app/src strapi has an error at startup and it says: Missing api folder. Please create one at './src/api'.

Any idea where my problem is?

Simen Daehlin thank you for this awesome Guide!

I got some of the same errors kalle was facing, as well as the error with the sharp dependency. For me running the container with an alpine image and adding some missing shared libraries did the trick.

What I did was replacing the FROM node:16 line with:

FROM node:16-alpine
RUN apk add --no-cache libc6-compat

Just leaving this here in case someone might need this.

Now while this did work splendidly on a fresh install of strapi v4 (again, thank you for this amazing guide!), weirdly enough, when I try to dockerize an existing strapi project (v.4.0.7) I get the error:

debug: ⛔️ Server wasn't able to start properly. strapi error: password authentication failed for user "strapi"

all the same while the postgres container throws the error:

DETAIL: Role "strapi" does not exist.

I followed the steps in the update you just published, to no avail. Oddly enough, when I look at the container the postgres db is running in, all the env variables etc. seem to be set properly and recognized by the container. Do you have any idea by any chance what strange mysteries could be happening here?

Just a quick heads-up: strapi-connector-bookshelf needs a node version >=10.16.0 <=14.x.x to run. Should one need the dependency, then changing the first line in the Dockerfile to

FROM node:14

fixes this issue.

Thanks for looking into it. I think that it is because there is no POSTGRES_DB that is defined. Also I think that we can use FROM node:14 or node:14-alpine. Don't recommend alpine images for development but yes indeed for production.

did a minor update on the files etc.

Hi Simen,

Thanks for your demo. I hade to change

docker-compose up -d postgresdb && yarn develop

docker-compose up -d strapi && yarn develop

as the .env as strapi as I get that

no such service: postgresdb

But my the error I am getting when running with

docker-compose up -d strapi && yarn develop

is the following:

debug: ⛔️ Server wasn't able to start properly. error: The server does not support SSL connections

Have you run into this issue? I am on Mac OS Monterey v12.2 and node v 16.3.0

The

docker-compose up -d

is working without errors

Thank you for the detailed guide!

Unfortunately, it failed at the stage of creating a docker image. I'm using the m1 Silicon Mac Book. The error message is as follows.

sharp: Installation error: Use with glibc 2.28 requires manual installation of libvips >= 8.11.3

The docker node16 image can't be bullseye, before yarn install,

RUN apt-get update -y && \
apt-get upgrade -y libvips libvips-dev

Installing libvips with the above command failed with the same error message.

Is there a good way to solve it?

Simen Daehlin Hi I already did and double-checked it: my .env (I omit the other values):

HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=1337
URL='sub.domain.de&

and in my config/server.js:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  host: env('HOST', '0.0.0.0'),
  port: env.int('PORT', 1337),
  url : env('URL', 'sub.domain.de&),
  app: {
    keys: env.array('APP_KEYS'),
  },
});

I still get those 2 entries with the "wrong" localhost url and the API error. Can't create my admin user..

Manuel Ok do I don't know if this solution is the right way but I got it working. So for all those who have a similar problem. I have added the following line to my Strapi service:

strapi:
      ...
      volumes:
        - strapi:/opt/app/src

And created an additional volume in my docker-compose:

volumes:
  strapi:

Manuel That is a good workaround indeed. You can mount the whole project into the container too. Creating it's separate volume will work as well. Though if files change you won't get a reflection on it in the container.

If you need a reflection, bind the folders to the same folders in the container.

strapi:
        ...
        volumes:
          - config:/opt/app/config

As though avoiding mounting node_modules. If your system is different to linux.

So it's two things here. Sharp gets compiled, and uses this in the container so installing sharp on your mac should allow the container to build it.

If you need it inside the container, you can add

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install libvips libvips-dev -y

This is the line after from node... What you wrote in previous does an upgrade and update not installing the package.

Unfortunately, the same error occurred when installed in my m1 MacBook, and the same problem continued when installed in the container.

I solved it by entering the command

platform: linux/amd64

in the docker-compose.yml file.

Thank you for the great guide!
