Doesn't work with the Webpack Encore

[YSkrzypczyk]

hello,
I use a WEBPACK for the generation of my css and my js and so it adds a build folder in the public folder. Unfortunately this folder does not appear in the caddy container, is there a solution?

I add this :

RUN apk add --no-cache
...
nodejs
npm
...
;

and this :

RUN set -eux;
npm install;
npm update;
npm run build;

But in this logic I have to rebuild to run the webpack again which is not perfect.

Thanks in advance

Hi, you can check #186 for an example of webpack encore with symfony-docker

Hope it helps you !

The node service is run only on the docker-compose.override.yml ? Do only on the dev environnement.
It's not possible to do npm run build in the PHP container and see it in the caddy container in prod ?

Yes in production, you have to do an npm run build instead of launching the webpack server

Ok but if I want to rebuild the CSS I have to rebuild the container ? Do npm run build on the PHP container won't be enough ?

As @Romaixn has said, look at #186. It's not ready, we need to do some rework but you can use it as inspiration for your case.

Also as we want to offer the project ready for production, we don't want to include any asset build artifacts in the PHP container for security reasons.

BTW, run a command like this inside a container in production it's not a good practice and a good use of docker for production
