dspace-angular with docker-compose cannot find module '/app/dist/server.js'

[Hendrik Geßner]

Hello everybody,

I just cloned the current DSpace and dspace-angular repositories and tried to run the code. Unfortunately, the described docker-compose route led me into an error that I cannot solve.

I followed the instructions given in https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/src/main/docker-compose/README.md by starting backend and frontend separately. I use Docker 19.03.8 on Windows 10.

From DSpace/DSpace

docker-compose -p d7 up -d

worked as far as I can see.

From DSpace/DSpace-angular (build as needed)

docker-compose -p d7 -f docker/docker-compose.yml up

gives me the following error (top lines removed for brevity):

$ node ./scripts/webpack.js -w --mode development

Although the build phase succeeded, I got the following warnings:

As the whole process only involves git clone and some docker-compose commands, I'm not sure whether I did anything wrong or whether the current repository is in an unstable status.

Kind regards,
