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" ]

And this my package.json:

{
  "name": "server",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {

    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 command npm install --legacy-peer-deps locally in my terminal it works fine. The issue here was that the Docker file generated when I run the command flyctl 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:

    # syntax = docker/dockerfile:1
    
    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 
    
    COPY <<-"EOF" /app/package.json
    {
      "name": "server",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "description": "",
      "main": "index.js",
      "type": "module",
      "scripts": {
        "test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1",
        "dev": "nodemon index.js"
      },
      "keywords": [],
      "author": "",
      "license": "ISC",
      "dependencies": {
        "body-parser": "^1.20.2",
        "cors": "^2.8.5",
        "dotenv": "^16.0.3",
        "express": "^4.18.2",
        "helmet": "^6.0.1",
        "mongoose": "^7.0.0",
        "mongoose-currency": "^0.2.0",
        "morgan": "^1.10.0"
      },
      "devDependencies": {
        "nodemon": "^2.0.21"
      }
    }
    EOF
    
    RUN npm install --legacy-peer-deps
    
    # Copy application code
    COPY --link . .
    
    # Remove development dependencies
    RUN npm prune --production --legacy-peer-deps
    
    # 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" ]
    

    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:

    {
      "name": "server",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "description": "",
      "main": "index.js",
      "type": "module",
      "scripts": {
        "test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1",
        "dev": "nodemon index.js",
        "start": "node index.js"
      },
      "keywords": [],
      "author": "",
      "license": "ISC",
      "dependencies": {
        "body-parser": "^1.20.2",
        "cors": "^2.8.5",
        "dotenv": "^16.0.3",
        "express": "^4.18.2",
        "helmet": "^6.0.1",
        "mongoose": "^7.0.0",
        "mongoose-currency": "^0.2.0",
        "morgan": "^1.10.0"
      },
      "devDependencies": {
        "nodemon": "^2.0.21"
      }
    }
    

    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.
