Dockerfile is missing `patches` directory causing postinstall script to fail

[ADchampion3]

Bug Description

The Dockerfile in the root directory fails during yarn install because the postinstall.cjs script tries to require the ../patches/fix-pglite-prisma-bytes.cjs file, but the patches directory is not copied into the Docker container.

Error Message

[4/4] Building fresh packages...
$ node ./scripts/postinstall.cjs
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1210
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module '../patches/fix-pglite-prisma-bytes.cjs'

code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
requireStack: [ '/repo/scripts/postinstall.cjs' ]
}

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the repository
2. Run docker build -t happy-latest .
3. Build fails during the deps stage

Root Cause

In scripts/postinstall.cjs line 4:

require('../patches/fix-pglite-prisma-bytes.cjs');
But the Dockerfile (line 11-12) only copies:

dockerfile
COPY package.json yarn.lock ./
COPY scripts ./scripts

The patches directory is not included.

Suggested Fix

Add the following line to the Dockerfile after line 12:

dockerfile
COPY patches ./patches

Additional Question: How to become a contributor?

I noticed this project uses a monorepo structure with workspaces. I would love to contribute fixes and improvements to this project.

What's the process for becoming a contributor?
Are there any specific guidelines for PR submissions?
Is there a Discord or community channel where contributors coordinate?
Thank you for building this awesome tool! 🔥

hi, thank you for the feedback. We are going to formalize issue and pool request submission in the following week. We just submitted the new App Store builds so have a huge backlog to go through ;)

also, are you sure this issue still present? I remember fixing something similar, which docker file is failing exactly?

Sorry, I mixed up the Dockerfile in happy-server and happy. This issue only occurs when I run docker build directly under the happy directory.
Additionally, I’m looking forward to the contribution guide and can’t wait to contribute my time and effort to this wonderful project!

I had the same issue right now, Dockerfile is failing, Dockerfile.server seems to have the patches copied correctly

Closing as covered by #866 and fixed by #911.

The root problem here was the standalone root Dockerfile, not Dockerfile.server: #911 adds the missing COPY patches ./patches there and fixes the migration lookup in standalone.ts. Thanks for the clarification and repro details.
