After remove payload.init from server.ts the project starts. Which makes me think that the error could be related to the payload npm package.
import express from 'express';
import payload from 'payload';
require('dotenv').config();
const app = express();
// Redirect root to Admin panel
app.get('/', (_, res) => {
res.redirect('/admin');
});
const start = async () => {
// Initialize Payload
// await payload.init({
// secret: process.env.PAYLOAD_SECRET,
// mongoURL: process.env.MONGODB_URI,
// express: app,
// onInit: async () => {
// payload.logger.info(`Payload Admin URL: ${payload.getAdminURL()}`)
// },
// })
// Add your own express routes here
app.listen(3000);
}
start();
OK. this is then likely not an issue with Payload and something that you should research regarding your Node 18 Docker image. I bet it has something to do with one of Payload's dependencies. Can you attempt to use another Docker image?
I will convert this to a discussion as there is likely nothing that Payload can be done to fix this, although I'm happy to continue to help!
Hey @mauroencinas — this should be doable. I'd try and start your process manually, outside of
nodemon, to see if you can get a better error log. Runts-node src/server.tsand see what you get. Let us know!Hey @mauroencinas — this should be doable. I'd try and start your process manually, outside of
