Local docker images
I am currently working on getting working healthchecks for the docker community edition
PR - decided to go ahead and add healthchecks for the other containers as well (not yet pushed)
I have some troubles building the local image for the api.
i assume i just have to run
pnpm docker:build in the novu/apps/api directory, but the error makes me assume i missed a step with setting up (mocking env) for local builds?
Is there some documentation for working with the codebase?
I assumed maybe working on a fork was the issue but after also cloning the 'upstream' i don't think it is.3 Replies

We don't recommend building docker images locally. Do you have another approach where you can test these changes without building docker images?
as per my knowledge, you want to add health check to check if web service is running or not
Yes but i also want to do that for the other containers that had them removed last week.
Because some of the containers use 'node:slim' or similar reduced images there is a limited availability for unix tools like curl.
The least disruptive solution is to create a
mjs module and execute it with the available node runtime.
To avoid bind mounting permission issues or modifying the compose file to much my idea was to integrate the healthcheck scripts into the image itself and assign the correct container permission, similar to already present scripts.
I do not plan to use the self build images for anything beside the testing of the health check.

And again do we have some codebase/architecture documentation to make getting started contributing and adherring to existing project standards a bit easier?
For testing i can of course execute the scripts locally to hit the endpoints, but that does not solve the issue if they are mounted into the image where i want them (aka calling the script from the compose file according to the images set working directory)
