Resolving "react exit with code 0" when running a React container

1/1/2020
docker react
A guide on diagnosing and fixing the common "react exit with code 0" error when running React applications inside Docker containers.

Alt Text So, before you'll get this error on your Docker instance I presume you have basic knowledge of Docker and as such won't need to explain but rather straight to the error and solution options.

The Error

The error is gotten when you run the below command on a set of projects that include a React App.

docker-composer up

or try to start a React App container from an image on your Docker instance.

For the simplest solution, Skip to Option 5 :wink:

Option 1

(While Running Multiple Containers)

Add the configuration "tty:true" to your react instance

react:
  tty: true //NOTE
  build: dockerreact
  ports:
    - "3000:3000"

Option 2

(While Running Multiple Containers)

Setting "stdin_open:true" to your react instance

react:
  stdin_open: true //NOTE:
  build: dockerreact
  ports:
    - "3000:3000"

Option 3

(While Running Multiple Containers or Single React Container)

Add "CI=true" as a command that should run before "npm install" in your Dockerfile within your React project root directory

FROM node:14.5

RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY package.json /usr/src/app

RUN CI=true //NOTE

RUN npm install
COPY . /usr/src/app

EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["npm","start"]

Option 4

(While Running Multiple Containers or Single React Container)

Use "docker-compose run" instead of "docker-compose up" as this automatically sets either option 1 or 2 as true

docker-compose run

NOTE: This is only works on already built docker images

Option 5

(While Running Multiple Containers or Single React Container)

Lastly, Degrade your "react scripts" version to 3.4.0

NOTE: Degradding to 3.3.0 wont solve the error.
