# This dockerfile builds an image for the backend package. # It should be executed with the root of the repo as docker context. # # Before building this image, be sure to have run the following commands in the repo root: # # yarn install # yarn tsc # yarn build:backend # # Once the commands have been run, you can build the image using `yarn build-image` FROM node:18-bookworm-slim # Install isolate-vm dependencies, these are needed by the @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend.

You can skip this if you don't use sqlite3 in the image, # in which case you should also move better-sqlite3 to "devDependencies" in package.json.
