[Bug]: Docker Compose Deployments Still Have Issues If Repo Files Are Needed.

[DanyaalMajid]

Error Message and Logs

Description

We are encountering issues with Docker Compose deployments when repository files are required, similar to past issues referenced below.

The Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml are located in the docker/ directory in the repository. They are properly detected in the dashboard, but deployment fails with an error stating that the /artifacts/docker directory does not exist.

These issues seem related, but our case appears to be a new variation of the problem.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up a repository with a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml inside a subdirectory (e.g., docker/).
2. Connect the repository to Coolify and ensure it detects the Docker Compose setup.
3. Enable the "Preserve Repository During Deployment" Option.
4. Trigger a deployment using the Coolify dashboard.
5. Observe the build log, which should show errors related to missing /artifacts/docker directory.
6. The deployment fails with the error:

   resolve : lstat /artifacts/docker: no such file or directory

This issue seems related to previous problems with handling repository files in deployments.

@andrasbacsai For the record, the issue is caused by word wrapping. Disabling it resolves the problem:

File: /var/www/html/resources/views/components/form/monaco-editor.blade.php:

...
wordWrap: 'off',
...

Of course, disabling word wrapping is not the proper solution. I believe there's a bug elsewhere, but this serves as a temporary workaround.

@andrasbacsai Sorry, the comment below was not for this issue ... The right issue: https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify/issues/5159

Having the same problem

Locally the docker compose works, but Coolify fails to build with

2025-Feb-22 18:13:40.580570
Oops something is not okay, are you okay? 😢
2025-Feb-22 18:13:40.584546

resolve : lstat /deployment: no such file or directory
2025-Feb-22 18:13:40.584546
exit status 17

This is an my docker compose using a custom nginx Dockerfile :

./deployment/NginxTest/docker-compose.yml

services:
  nginx-test:
    hostname: nginx-test
    image: nginx-test:latest
    restart: on-failure:2
    build:
      context: ../../
      dockerfile: ./deployment/NginxTest/Dockerfile.NginxTest
      target: nginx-test
    ports:
      - 8888:80
    expose:
      - 8888

I believe the Dockerfile can be as simple as :

./deployment/NginxTest/Dockerfile.NginxTest

FROM nginx:1.27.4 AS nginx-test

RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash","tail" "-f" "/dev/null "]

Putting the same exact docker compose file at the root of the repo (and putting context : . ) solved the problem 👍

[DanyaalMajid]

I stumbled on the same thing, but there were issues in my compose file, so I though that may have been the problem.

Basically docker compose files in sub directories cause breakage of builds, Docker files themselves can be kept in sub directories. But the compose file must be in the root always.

[MarArMar]

@DanyaalMajid I don't know if this is completed tho, I would still put this as a bug OR at least inform the user in the UI that they cannot use docker compose not in the root folder of the repo

[DanyaalMajid]

Agreed, I did not consider this beforehand, we can leave it opened for now.

Is there any update on this issue so that we can still be able to use docker compose files in docker/ folder

Actually when I tried with these settings, it worked for me. My docker/ directory:

My Coolify Setting:

So even though my base directory is root, on coolify I had to select docker/ but then it worked.

It may have been fixed, i haven't messed with my deployment system for a couple months, will have to try again and see if its fixed.

God bless you! I was suffering from this bug for days. Unfortunately the bug is still active.

And luckily your solution works with nested directories

@djedu28 You're welcome! I'm glad this solved your issue.
