How to setup webpacker on rails for production environment? – Nginx

I was about to setup/deploy my project on the server, so I tried running it first on my local machine using the production environment to make sure it’s running properly. However, I’m having a problem about the assets used.

Im using rails version 5.2, with webpacker version 5.4 and nginx.

Currently testing it on my windows pc using docker with docker-compose.

I cleared the public/assets and public/packs then executed RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

It was able to generate and compile the assets.

But if viewed on the browser, the layout is broken and lots of errors on the browser console:

here is my config/webpack/production.js:

process.env.NODE_ENV = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'production'

const environment = require('./environment')

module.exports = environment.toWebpackConfig()

I’ve been stucked with this for awhile now.

Thank you.
