The explanation on mounting the /src finally made it clear for me on how to develop locally with Docker. Thanks a lot.

[@jagadeeps3095]

the best dockerize video i have ever seen. Thank you so much Anson for this straight forward and clean explanation👍👍

[@edwinchan8190]

Very clear and concise video on dockerizing nestjs app, thanks so much!

[@amritniure465]

If anyone is facing the trouble " Error: Cannot find module '/usr/src/app/dist/main " . You can change the start:prod script in package.json to: "start:prod": "node dist/src/main",
it is because the main file inside the container is inside the /usr/src/app/dist/src/main> I don't know the reason behind this. It must be something related to the tsconfig file. If you go check the files under the container the main file is in /usr/src/app/dist/src/main so, that works. Basically you need to provide the path of the main.js file of your container in your package.json file.
If you try to build the application without docker ( in terminal ) after changing the path it won't work again because in dev environment the main file is inside the dist/ folder so hope you got the drill.

Thank you so much for another solid tutorial Anson. I was toying with the idea of looking into Docker.

[@dr-Jonas-Birch]

Excellent video. JB

[@ehSamurai3483]

In docker compose you can add a dependency to mysql, so it will first start mysql before starting the nestjs server.

[@Bregylais]

Beautifully explained, thank you.

[@wisdomekpot7426]

I love this tutorial.

[@dileepa-mn2to]

Hi Anson, could you show us what vscode extensions you are using for your projects ?

[@ferrywijaya6404]

[@user-hq4im9wb8k]

Hi I have one question how can i check the databasemeans table and all?

[@codewithashok10]

Bro please make a video express js with typescript

[@bonchan4404]

hello anson . thanks for this video . im following your video but im having a problem on the hot reload on the tsconfig.json its not working . im using the latest typescript version on the dev dependencies

[@ansonthedev]

I would double check the volumes and make sure they are mounted correctly. If you're on Windows make sure the watchOptions in the tsconfig is configured correctly... Here's a Stack Overflow link that may help - stackoverflow.com/questions/74815121/why-is-hot-reloading-not-working-in-my-nestjs-docker-compose-multistage-project

[@bonchan4404]

@@ansonthedev thanks for this anson ! started watching all of your nest js videos because im starting to a new company and nest js is one of their stack ! . really love the way you teach to code its like watching traversy media . again thank you !

[@user-pj6zt5xs4s]

[@kumaramresh7905]

​@@user-pj6zt5xs4s no !! What's the solution??

[@Salaralali]

just add src to your start:prod script in package.json, like this: "start:prod": "node dist/src/main"
