Walkthrough

Adds Docker support via a two-stage Dockerfile (build + runtime), provides Docker-related guidance in .env.example, and documents Docker build/run commands in README.md.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Dockerfile (multi-stage)
Dockerfile
Adds a two-stage Dockerfile: a builder stage using node:22-alpine that installs pnpm, copies lockfiles/configs, runs pnpm install --frozen-lockfile and builds to .output; a runtime stage using node:22-alpine that sets production env vars, installs pnpm and npm-run-all, copies .env, transfers build output and runtime files from the builder, exposes port 3000, and starts with pnpm start.
Environment example
.env.example
Adds two commented Docker-build guidance lines under the DATABASE section suggesting an alternate DATABASE_URL host (start-ui-web-postgres-1) for Docker builds; no functional changes.
Documentation
README.md
Adds a Docker subsection to the Run section with commands to build (docker build -t start-ui-web .) and run (docker run -d --network start-ui-web_default -p 3000:3000 --name start-ui-web-container start-ui-web) the image; notes that the build uses the project .env and explains the start-ui-web_default network origin.

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
Dockerfile (3)

6-10: Combine consecutive RUN commands to reduce image layers.

Multiple single-line RUN commands create extra layers. Consider grouping related operations:

  • Lines 8–10: Combine apk update, apk upgrade, and apk add git into one command.
  • Lines 37–38: Combine pnpm and npm-run-all installations in the runtime stage.
 # install pnpm & git
-RUN npm install -g pnpm
-RUN apk update && \
-    apk upgrade && \
-    apk add --no-cache git
+RUN npm install -g pnpm && \
+    apk update && \
+    apk upgrade && \
+    apk add --no-cache git

And in the runtime stage:

 # install pnpm
-RUN npm install -g pnpm
-RUN npm install -g npm-run-all
+RUN npm install -g pnpm npm-run-all

Also applies to: 37-38


2-2: Consider running the container as a non-root user for security.

Both the builder and runtime stages run as the root user by default. This increases the attack surface if the container is compromised. Add a non-root user (e.g., node or a custom user) to each stage:

 # Stage 1: builder
 FROM node:22-alpine AS builder
 
 WORKDIR /app
 
+# Create non-root user for build
+RUN addgroup -g 1001 -S nodejs && \
+    adduser -S nodejs -u 1001
+
 # install pnpm & git
 RUN npm install -g pnpm
 RUN apk update && \
     apk upgrade && \
     apk add --no-cache git
 
 RUN git init
 
 # copy lock, package files and configs
 COPY package.json pnpm-lock.yaml ./
 COPY run-jiti.js ./
 COPY src/features/build-info/script-to-generate-json.ts src/features/build-info/build-info.gen.json ./src/features/build-info/
 COPY prisma/schema.prisma ./prisma/

 RUN pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prod=false
 
 # copy source
 COPY . .
 
 # build .output
 ENV NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096

 # Stage 2: runtime
 FROM node:22-alpine AS runtime
 
+# Create non-root user for runtime
+RUN addgroup -g 1001 -S nodejs && \
+    adduser -S nodejs -u 1001
 
 WORKDIR /app
 
 # install pnpm
 RUN npm install -g pnpm
 RUN npm install -g npm-run-all
 
 
 ## copy output build and package.json from builder
 COPY --from=builder /app/.output ./.output
 COPY --from=builder /app/package.json ./package.json
 COPY --from=builder /app/src/features/build-info/build-info.gen.json ./src/features/build-info/build-info.gen.json
 COPY --from=builder /app/src/features/build-info/script-to-generate-json.ts ./src/features/build-info/script-to-generate-json.ts
+RUN chown -R nodejs:nodejs /app
 
 # install only production dependencies

 RUN pnpm install --prod

Also applies to: 31-31, 52-60


41-41: Fix comment formatting.

Line 41 uses ## (two hashes) instead of the conventional single # for comments:

12-12: Clarify the purpose of git init in the builder stage.

Line 12 initializes a git repository, but it's unclear why this is needed since no .git directory or git commands appear afterward. If this is unused, it should be removed to keep the image lean.

Can you explain the purpose of git init? If it's not needed for the build process, I recommend removing it to reduce layer overhead.


37-38: Verify that npm-run-all is actually required.

Line 38 installs npm-run-all globally in the runtime stage, but the CMD (line 60) only runs pnpm start without any indication that npm-run-all is used. If it's not needed by the startup script or your application, removing it will reduce image size.

Can you confirm whether npm-run-all is needed at runtime, or if it can be safely removed?

Also applies to: 60-60

7-7: Prefer corepack over npm install for pnpm management.

Node.js 22 includes corepack, a built-in package manager that can manage pnpm without explicitly installing it. Using corepack is more maintainable and follows Node.js ecosystem best practices.

Apply this diff to use corepack in both stages:

-# install pnpm & git
-RUN npm install -g pnpm
+# install git
 RUN apk update && \
-    apk upgrade && \
     apk add --no-cache git

And in the runtime stage:

-# install pnpm
-RUN npm install -g pnpm npm-run-all
+# enable corepack
+RUN corepack enable && \
+    npm install -g npm-run-all

Then ensure your package.json has a "packageManager" field like:

{
  "packageManager": "[email protected]"
}

Also applies to: 37-37


8-10: Remove apk upgrade from multi-stage build for better layer caching.

apk upgrade in a Docker layer can cause cache invalidation issues and is unnecessary when you're only adding specific packages. Use apk add --no-cache alone to ensure reproducible builds and better caching.

Apply this diff to simplify the apk installation:

-RUN apk update && \
-    apk upgrade && \
+RUN apk add --no-cache git

This removes the redundant apk update and apk upgrade calls.


26-26: Consider whether NODE_OPTIONS should also apply to the runtime stage.

NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 is set in the builder stage (line 26) to help with memory during the build, but it only takes effect during build time. If your production application needs this setting, ensure it's also set in the runtime stage (after line 49).

If the setting is needed for runtime, add it to the runtime stage:

 ENV NODE_ENV=production

+ENV NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096
 ENV HOST=0.0.0.0
 ENV PORT=3000

♻️ Duplicate comments (3)
Dockerfile (3)

12-12: ⚠️ Duplicate: git init remains unnecessary and should be removed.

This issue was previously flagged as critical. When launching containers, networks must be created explicitly; Docker does not auto-create custom networks. The git init command initializes a repository that is never used and adds unnecessary build overhead. No build scripts, pnpm commands, or dependencies require a .git directory.

Apply this diff to remove the line:

 RUN apk update && \
     apk upgrade && \
     apk add --no-cache git
-RUN git init

46-46: ⚠️ Duplicate: Do not copy .env into the Docker image — critical security risk.

This issue was previously flagged as critical. Copying environment files into the image bakes secrets into image layers permanently, making them available to anyone with image access. This violates security best practices.

Environment configuration should be injected at runtime via:

  • Environment variable flags (docker run -e)
  • Bind mounts or volumes
  • Secret management systems (Docker Secrets, Kubernetes Secrets, CI/CD injection)

Apply this diff to remove the line:

 RUN npm install -g pnpm npm-run-all
-COPY .env ./

50-54: ⚠️ Duplicate: Avoid copying node_modules from builder to runtime — platform incompatibility risk.

This issue was previously flagged as major. Copying compiled node_modules across stages can cause runtime failures if native modules (bcrypt, sharp, etc.) were compiled for the builder's platform and don't match the runtime environment.

Reinstall dependencies in the runtime stage using the frozen lockfile instead:

-## copy output build and package.json from builder
 COPY --from=builder /app/.output ./.output
 COPY --from=builder /app/package.json ./package.json
 COPY --from=builder /app/pnpm-lock.yaml ./pnpm-lock.yaml
-COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
+
+RUN pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prod

This ensures dependencies are properly compiled for the runtime environment.

The idea is to build a Docker image to deploy on some Docker running platform like k8s, we don't really want a script in package.json but more of a command to copy/paste in the README (just the docker build -t start-ui-web . part I think, and then how to use this built docker image

70-70: Clarify .env file prerequisites and timing.

The note about the .env file is helpful but doesn't specify whether the file must be created before running docker build. Add context to prevent build failures from missing environment variables.

Apply this diff for clarity:

-During the build process, it automatically uses your project's .env file.
+> [!NOTE]
+> Ensure your `.env` file exists and is properly configured in the project root before running `docker build`. The Docker build process will copy and use it to configure the application.
