Package.json is not found in backend:test

I have the same error , how can we solve it?
Thanks!!

For now, to bypass this I've gone ahead and grabbed the package.json from the medusajs/medusa repository and put it into the backend folder, and re-run docker-compose up --build, which did the trick.

From the root of this medusajs/docker-medusa repo:

wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/medusajs/medusa/master/package.json" -O backend/package.json
sed -i 's,=error,=error --force,' backend/Dockerfile
docker-compose up --build
docker-compose up -d

Hmmm, there are actually quite a few other issues. 😓

First of all, thanks for this amazing project!!

Would be AWESOME if there would be a working docker-compose example <3

Also can we change the postgres port used by this stack by just adding command -p to postgres and changing the database url accordingly?

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to try and figure this all out and get this running through docker compose or if I should cut my losses and ditch using docker or create my own docker compose file from scratch. Did you ever get it working using docker compose? What where the other issues?

I talked with a maintainer on discord and they said that you're supposed to bootstrap a medusa project using npx create-medusa-app, then merge the files of this repo into your project, then it should all work. I haven't given it a test yet, I'll update if I do test this out and remember to.

That's not all. This repository is not ready for use because it lacks some documentation. When they throw in a COPY . . step where we do not have a package.json or any app/boilerplate code then I am sure it won't work. You should follow the official docs on how to create a new project and use that in your docker setup.

Anyhow, this is what worked for me (still struggling with building the last missing piece, the storefront) - note: I used api instead of backend for folder naming:

# api/Dockerfile
FROM node:17.0.0-alpine

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

RUN apk update && apk add git

RUN git config --global user.name medusa-user

RUN npm install -g @medusajs/medusa-cli

RUN test -f develop.sh || medusa new . --seed

# enable if you have a config file
# COPY api/medusa-config.js .

COPY api/entrypoint.sh .

# api/entrypoint.sh
