I am trying to Dockerize a Django app with tailwind to deploy to lightsail. I followed two tutorials.
Both work individually. Now I am trying to combine the both. I started with the django-tailwind guide, then added the code from the first tutorial to it.
When I run docker-compose build it builds (19/28) of the commands, I assume. When I run docker-compose up I get the error
gmo-django-lightsail-tailwind-1 | CommandError:
gmo-django-lightsail-tailwind-1 | It looks like node.js and/or npm is not installed or cannot be found.
gmo-django-lightsail-tailwind-1 |
gmo-django-lightsail-tailwind-1 | Visit https://nodejs.org to download and install node.js for your system.
gmo-django-lightsail-tailwind-1 |
gmo-django-lightsail-tailwind-1 | If you have npm installed and still getting this error message, set NPM_BIN_PATH variable in settings.py to match path of NPM executable in your system.
gmo-django-lightsail-tailwind-1 |
gmo-django-lightsail-tailwind-1 | Example:
gmo-django-lightsail-tailwind-1 | NPM_BIN_PATH = "/usr/local/bin/npm
In my settings.py I have “NPM_BIN_PATH = r"C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd” included.
Here is my dockerfile:
FROM python:3.11.1-alpine3.17
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
COPY ./requirements.txt /requirements.txt
RUN apk add --update --no-cache \

COPY ./scripts /scripts
RUN chmod -R +x /scripts
ENV PATH="/scripts:/py/bin:$PATH"
COPY ./gmo /gmo
WORKDIR /gmo

Here is my docker-compose file:

Well, I’ve tried many things. Editing the docker-compose and Dockerfile (the latest modification is posted).
I want to be able to live update tailwind when I run docker-compose up. It sometimes works, but then doesn’t live update after. Normal HTML changes work, but tailwind specific changes doesn’t.
This is my first time posting here, so sorry if I placed it in the wrong forum.
