Is this a bug??? I had to do something unusual with my Dockerfile.dev and docker-compose.yaml to get v2 working in Docker and it feels off

What happened?

So its been awhile since i've spun up quasar within docker for local development. After battling things for a few hours ... this is what I came up with. But I'm wondering ... is there a better way (and why in the hell do i have to include index.html for things to work :))?

Dockerfile.dev:

FROM node:22-alpine
WORKDIR /app

# install project dependencies
COPY package*.json quasar.config.ts .npmrc index.html  ./
RUN npm i

# copy project files and folders to the current working directory (i.e. 'app' folder)
COPY . .

# configre default/required environmental variables
ENV PATH /app/node_modules/.bin:$PATH

CMD ["npx","quasar", "dev"]

docker-compose.dev.yaml

...
frontend:
    container_name: gp-frontend-vue
    image: gp/frontend-vue:latest
    pull_policy: never
    env_file:
      - .env
    build:
      context: ./frontend-vue
      dockerfile: Dockerfile.dev
    volumes:
      - ./frontend-vue:/app:cached
      - /app/node_modules
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
      - "9229:9229"
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=development
    command: ["npx", "quasar", "dev", "-p", "8080"]
...

If anyone has any thoughts on how to improve this I'd love to hear. Thanks much!

What did you expect to happen?

I expect this to be sufficient in my Dockerfile.dev:

FROM node:22-alpine
WORKDIR /app

# install project dependencies
COPY package*.json   ./
RUN npm i

# copy project files and folders to the current working directory (i.e. 'app' folder)
COPY . .

# configre default/required environmental variables
ENV PATH /app/node_modules/.bin:$PATH

CMD ["npx","quasar", "dev"]
