I can not even build your application using docker…

Step 7/9 : RUN apk --no-cache add inotify-tools
 ---> Running in 4e1e25cd4002
/bin/sh: 1: apk: not found

Some steps earlier you are using apt to install…

After applying the following diff, I was at least able to build and start your application.

I was able to fetch http://localhost:4000/ using curl after it was started. Using the browser though, I realized no assets have been built.

I won’t dig into that issue right now, as it would include setting up node-js properly in docker.

Perhaps you should switch to beardedegale/alpine-phoenix-builder as a base image, it comes with everything included…

PS: I also added a .dockerignore-file with the following content:

deps
