implementing Node.js Debugging in a Dockerized Environment Using Nodemon
I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm working with an scenario while trying to debug my Node.js application using Nodemon within a Docker container. My setup includes Node.js version 18 and Nodemon version 2.0.20. When I make changes to my code, the expected behavior is that Nodemon should automatically restart the server. However, it seems that Nodemon fails to detect file changes when the container is running. I've set up my Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml as follows: **Dockerfile:** ```dockerfile FROM node:18 WORKDIR /app COPY package*.json ./ RUN npm install COPY . . CMD ["npx", "nodemon", "--watch", "src", "--exec", "node", "src/index.js"] ``` **docker-compose.yml:** ```yaml erversion: '3.8' services: app: build: . volumes: - .:/app ports: - "3000:3000" ``` Despite the volume mapping, changes in my `src` directory do not trigger a restart in Nodemon. I’ve tried the following troubleshooting steps: 1. Verified that file changes are being saved correctly. 2. Ensured that I’m using the correct Nodemon command in the Docker CMD. 3. Added `--legacy-watch` flag to Nodemon to see if it resolves the scenario, but it still didn’t work. 4. Tried changing the volume mount to `- .:/app:cached`, which also did not help. When I check the logs, I see the following message when I make a change: ``` [nodemon] watching 0 files [nodemon] starting node src/index.js ``` Any insights on how to properly configure Nodemon in a Docker environment so that it recognizes file changes and restarts the server accordingly? Is there a specific configuration or alternative approach I should consider? Thanks! Thanks in advance!
