  You can run de server.js directly with node. Like this:

  
  
  

  FROM node:18.16.0-bullseye-slim as base
  
  # Build container with dev dependencies
  FROM base as builder
  
  WORKDIR /home/node
  COPY package*.json ./
  COPY . .
  
  # Public env variables are added to the react frontend at build time by webpack.
  ARG PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_FRONTEND_URL
  
  RUN npm install -g npm@latest && npm install && npm run build
  
  # Build production container
  FROM base as runtime
  
  ENV NODE_ENV=production
  ENV PAYLOAD_CONFIG_PATH=dist/payload.config.js
  ENV APP_PORT=8080
  
  WORKDIR /home/node
  COPY package*.json ./
  
  RUN npm install -g npm@latest && npm install --production --legacy-peer-deps && npm cache clean --force
  COPY --from=builder /home/node/dist ./dist
  COPY --from=builder /home/node/build ./build
  COPY --from=builder /home/node/public ./public
  
  EXPOSE 8080
  
  CMD ["node", "dist/server.js"]

  
  

  
  

  But you should have a look at your build logs, it looks like some dependencies are missing.

  It's possible this is related to peer dependencies as well since you're using npm

  
  

  
  

  I would see if the example in the docs that uses yarn works any different:
