Nakama/Docker Path Issues

Trying to set up a Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, and configuration file to use the JavaScript runtime. I was able to get this set up manually however when I tried to move to Dockerfile/docker-compose the server_nakama container is unable to find files moved by the Dockerfile container.
Namely:

  • When I bind the /nakama/data relative path to ./data in the docker-compose file, neither the configuration file nor index.js can be located. The only way I found to resolve this is by manually placing the configuration file in the /data directory but this defeats the purpose of the Dockerfile instructions.
  • When I bind the /nakama/data relative path to ./ in the docker-compose file, the configuration file is found but the built index.js file is not.

I have verified through several means that both files are in fact being populated in the container during the build process but once the server_nakama container spins up they cannot be found. I’ve tried pretty much every path I could think of so I figure I must be missing something.

  1. Versions: Nakama 3.12, Linux binary or Docker
  2. Server Framework Runtime language (If relevant) TS/JS

you should replace this with COPY --from=node-builder /backend/*.js /nakama/data/modules/

Hello @khamarr3524,

I think the issue is that the assumption of the current working directory is wrong and you’re setting data_dir as a relative path.

Try the following Dockerfile:

FROM node:alpine AS node-builder

WORKDIR /backend

COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY tsconfig.json ./
COPY src/*.ts ./
RUN npx tsc

FROM heroiclabs/nakama:3.12.0
WORKDIR /nakama
COPY --from=node-builder /backend/build/*.js /nakama/data/modules/build/
COPY project-x.yml /nakama/data/

No luck, Nakama is still unable to find the js entry point.

@khamarr3524 what operating system are you using Docker on?

@sesposito The server is running on Ubuntu 20.04.

Here is the updated files I’m using and corresponding error

The problem should be:

volumes:
      - ./:/nakama/data

in your docker-compose file. It is mounting your local directory at /nakama/data which is probably overwriting the files copied over from the multi-stage build. Remove the line and you should get it working.

@ghasem167 you have not removed the volumes config from your docker compose file.

I removed it but this couldn’t solve my problem. I solved it by changing js_entrypoint: from “build/index.js” to “index.js” and COPY --from=node-builder /backend/build/.js /nakama/data/modules/build/ to COPY --from=node-builder /backend/build/.js /nakama/data/modules/

I think this happens because of build folder dosent exist in module folder
