Updated docker build to use backstage-cli backend:bundle instead of backstage-cli backend:build-image.
To apply this change to an existing applications, change the following in packages/backend/package.json:
- "build": "backstage-cli backend:build",
- "build-image": "backstage-cli backend:build-image --build --tag backstage",
+ "build": "backstage-cli backend:bundle",
+ "build-image": "docker build ../.. -f Dockerfile --tag backstage",
Note that the backend build is switched to backend:bundle, and the build-image script simply calls docker build. This means the build-image script no longer builds all packages, so you have to run yarn build in the root first.
On order to work with the new build method, the Dockerfile at packages/backend/Dockerfile have been updated with the following contents:
# This dockerfile builds an image for the backend package.
# It should be executed with the root of the repo as docker context.
#
# Before building this image, be sure to have run the following commands in the repo root:
#
# yarn install
# yarn tsc
# yarn build
FROM node:14-buster-slim
WORKDIR /app
# Copy repo skeleton first, to avoid unnecessary docker cache invalidation.
# The skeleton contains the package.json of each package in the monorepo,
# and along with yarn.lock and the root package.json, that's enough to run yarn install.
ADD yarn.lock package.json packages/backend/dist/skeleton.tar.gz ./
RUN yarn install --frozen-lockfile --production --network-timeout 300000 && rm -rf "$(yarn cache dir)"
# This will copy the contents of the dist-workspace when running the build-image command.
# Do not use this Dockerfile outside of that command, as it will copy in the source code instead.
ADD packages/backend/dist/bundle.tar.gz app-config.yaml ./
CMD ["node", "packages/backend"]
Note that the base image has been switched from node:14-buster to node:14-buster-slim, significantly reducing the image size. This is enabled by the removal of the nodegit dependency, so if you are still using this in your project you will have to stick with the node:14-buster base image.
A .dockerignore file has been added to the root of the repo as well, in order to keep the docker context upload small. It lives in the root of the repo with the following contents:
.git
node_modules
packages
!packages/backend/dist
plugins
