First Time deploying to fly.io
I tried to deploy using fly deploy
but it failed so I followed this tutorial https://youtu.be/uoJ0Tv-BFcQ?list=LL&t=18827
I tried to deploy it using the command fly deploy --local-only
using Docker locally and I got this error:

Error: failed to fetch an image or build from source: error building: executor failed running [/bin/sh -c
npm install --production=false]: exit code: 1
It seems that it has nothing to do with mongoose, but I’m not sure what is actually happening.
This is my Dockerfile:
# syntax = docker/dockerfile:1
# Adjust NODE_VERSION as desired
ARG NODE_VERSION=18.15.0
FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}-slim as base
LABEL fly_launch_runtime="NodeJS"
# NodeJS app lives here
WORKDIR /app
# Set production environment
ENV NODE_ENV=production
# Throw-away build stage to reduce size of final image
FROM base as build
# Install packages needed to build node modules
RUN apt-get update -qq &&
apt-get install -y python-is-python3 pkg-config build-essential
# Install node modules
COPY --link package.json package-lock.json .
RUN npm install --production=false
# Copy application code
COPY --link . .
# Remove development dependencies
RUN npm prune --production
# Final stage for app image
FROM base
# Copy built application
COPY --from=build /app /app
# Start the server by default, this can be overwritten at runtime
CMD [ "npm", "run", "start" ]

Okay, after 24 hours of debugging I finally solve the problem. The main issue is that mongoose-currency requires a mongoose verion 4, and that's why the dependencies conflict happens. When I tried to run
npm install
locally in my terminal it fails due to the dependencies conflict, but when I run the commandnpm install --legacy-peer-deps
locally in my terminal it works fine. The issue here was that the Docker file generated when I run the commandflyctl launch
doesn't support a--legacy-peer-deps
option, and has been taken care off by one of fly.io employees who opened and issue on GitHub here https://github.com/fly-apps/dockerfile-node/issues/6.To circumvent this issue I updated the Dockerfile to be the following:
Also, the package.json didn't include a "start" script which caused another issue while deploying. To solve this issue, I updated the package.json to be the folloing:
Finally, the app is deployed and running as it should. I posted the solution here just incase anyone encounters the same problem or a similar problem in the future.
