Bulding a docker image running a Graphql Mesh

[hamzalatif-e2x]

Hi, I am unsure about the best way to build my docker image to run a Graphql Mesh API Gateway.

It seems there isn't a standalone artefact that I can copy over to my image and start via node server.js or another command.

Am I missing some configuration to generate this or does this have to be implemented manually? I am looking for a way to build my image without having to install dependencies / copy over the node_modules manually.

Is there any example of this sort of implementation?

I've done this by using the node docker image as a base and just installing the GraphQL Mesh dependencies on top. My dockerfile looks something like this:

FROM node:lts-alpine3.15
WORKDIR /app
COPY src/yarn.lock /app
COPY src/package.json /app
RUN yarn install
COPY src /app
ENTRYPOINT ["sh", "build.sh", "&&", "entrypoint.sh"]
CMD ["start"]

src contains the schema and .meshrc.yml. Might not be the perfect implementation but it works 🙂
