Solution:

sorry for reviving this but just realized I did not provide an update, so i did try this and it started but i was getting permission errors on the build dir instead. I removed the user NODE lines from docker file and I have had no permission issues since then

Since you're adding a user, you also need to run docker-compose as the same user. Add user: {UID} where {UID} is the node user's UID Next up, because of the same reason you have to mount with :rw - "./:/opt/app:rw" GWpingSock

Thank you I will be trying this today, I have been travelling for the past couple of days and I'm finally able to sit down

I did use just the stock docker install and did the whole add my user to the docker group thing nothing else so I'm not sure if its because we had different setups why the default file from sapphire template did not work just a heads up though, keep up the good work everyone I really like Sapphire 👌
