Walkthrough

This update introduces containerization and environment configuration for a Node.js application. It adds a Dockerfile with a multi-stage build, a docker-compose.yml for orchestrating the app and a PostgreSQL database, a .dockerignore to exclude unnecessary files from the build context, and updates .env.example with port variables.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
.dockerignore New file added to exclude node_modules, pnpm-lock.yaml, Dockerfile, .git, .gitignore, .env files, and *.log.
Dockerfile New multi-stage Dockerfile for building and running the Node.js app with Prisma and Next.js.
docker-compose.yml New file defining services for the app and PostgreSQL with environment variables, port mappings, and volumes.
.env.example Updated to add DB_PORT (5432) and PORT (3000) as example environment variables.

Poem

In Docker’s warren, code now hops,
With Compose and Prisma, it never stops.
Ports and secrets neatly aligned,
The app and database intertwined.
A rabbit’s joy, containers spun,
The setup’s done—the fun’s begun!

2-3: Add a trailing newline and keep keys ordered for readability.

Minor, but .env linters (and many editors) expect a terminating newline and often prefer alphabetical ordering for fast diffing.

3-3: Consider keeping Dockerfile in the context.

Ignoring Dockerfile is harmless but unusual; it can confuse newcomers and tooling that inspects build context.
If you don’t have a strong reason, drop the line.

29-29: Add a trailing newline for POSIX compliance.

YAML linters flag this; keeps diffs cleaner.

⚠️ Potential issue

pnpm-lock.yaml must NOT be ignored – build will break.

The Dockerfile explicitly copies the lock-file:

COPY package.json pnpm-lock.yaml ./

With the current ignore rule Docker won’t send pnpm-lock.yaml to the build context, so the COPY step fails.

 # keep the lock-file for reproducible builds
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In the .dockerignore file at line 2, remove the entry "pnpm-lock.yaml" to ensure
this lock file is included in the Docker build context. This is necessary
because the Dockerfile explicitly copies pnpm-lock.yaml, and ignoring it causes
the build to fail. Simply delete or comment out this line to fix the issue.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Avoid hard-coding database credentials in version-controlled compose files.

Expose them via an external .env or Docker secrets to reduce accidental leaks and make prod/dev variance easier.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In docker-compose.yml lines 7 to 10, the database credentials are hard-coded
under environment variables. To fix this, remove the hard-coded values and
instead reference environment variables defined in an external .env file or use
Docker secrets. Update the compose file to use variable substitution like
${POSTGRES_USER}, ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}, and ${POSTGRES_DB} so credentials are
not stored directly in version control and can vary by environment.

⚠️ Potential issue

Quote the DATABASE_URL to ensure correct variable expansion and YAML parsing.

Colons in unquoted scalars and the ${VAR:-default} expression can lead to subtle parse/expansion issues.

⚠️ Potential issue

pnpm is missing in the final image – container will not start.

pnpm is installed globally in the base stage, but only /app is copied to prod.
/usr/local/bin/pnpm (and its global store) stay behind, so CMD ["pnpm", "start"] fails.

 FROM node:20-alpine AS prod
 WORKDIR /app
 ENV NODE_ENV=production
-COPY --from=base /app ./
+# Install pnpm again (tiny) or switch to `npm start`
+RUN npm install -g pnpm
+COPY --from=base /app ./

Alternatively change CMD to ["npm", "start"] after adding a --production install step.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In Dockerfile lines 21 to 31, the final prod image lacks the globally installed
pnpm binary because only the /app directory is copied from the base stage,
causing the CMD ["pnpm", "start"] to fail. To fix this, either copy the pnpm
binary and its global store from the base stage into the prod image or replace
the CMD with ["npm", "start"] and add a step to run npm install with the
--production flag in the prod stage to ensure dependencies are installed without
relying on pnpm.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Prune dev-dependencies to slim the production image.

The current flow copies node_modules containing dev deps.
After copying, run pnpm prune --prod (or pnpm install --prod) before the final image is cut.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In Dockerfile around lines 25 to 28, the production image includes dev
dependencies because node_modules is copied as-is. To fix this, after copying
the application files from the base image, run `pnpm prune --prod` or `pnpm
install --prod` to remove dev dependencies and slim down the final production
image.
