Question

I am trying to create a docker-compose setup with nginzx, flask, and react. I started my react app with react-create-app (https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app) and h

Answer 1

As the issue is with react-scripts version > 3.4.0 as with the posted link from sandeep-reddy, you could pin the version that is installed by using these lines in the Dockerfile (credit Michael Herman).

Edit: Looks like you still need the line stdin_open:true in docker-compose.yml file for it to work.

RUN npm ci
RUN npm install react-scripts@3.4.0 -g --silent

Answer 2

Adding: stdin_open: true to the React component of my docker-compose file fixed my issue.

Example:

version: '3.1'

services:
    react:
        build:
            context: ../react-app/
            dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
        container_name: react
        volumes:
            - ../react-app:/usr/src/app
        networks:
            my-network:
                aliases:
                    - react-app
        expose:
            - 3000
        ports:
            - "3000:3000"
        stdin_open: true

It looks like an issue with [React-Scripts] v3.4.1. Please look into this link

Answer 4

Ran into same issue. Below mentioned steps resolved my problem: 1. add stdin_open: true

version: '3.1'

services:
  nginx:
    .
    .
  react:
    stdin_open: true
    .
    .

2. Do not forget to build the container again after the above mentioned change is made.

docker-compose down
docker-compose up --build
