Are you able to dockerize your Vite based build without Python?

[rakpawel]

Hello!

I'm trying to use Rainbowkit in my frontend application and my Docker images stopped building after adding it to my dependencies. I'm using Vite and React, my Dockerfile is quite straightforward.

FROM node:18.20.2-alpine3.18 AS build

WORKDIR /app

# Install dependencies
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install

# Copy the rest of the application files
COPY . ./

# Build the application
RUN npm run build

# Stage 2: Serve the application using nginx (Alpine version)
FROM nginx:alpine

# Copy the build output from the first stage to Nginx HTML folder
COPY --from=build /app/dist /usr/share/nginx/html
# Expose the port that Nginx will run on
EXPOSE 80

# Start Nginx
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

After adding Rainbowkit docker build no longer works, because it says that I have to have python installed on my build (which I'd rather avoid) - is it necessary to install python to have Rainbowkit working on Docker?

@rakpawel Can you share a small reproducible example ? The build should work fine with React and Vite, we even have an example dApp here. Maybe try to restart your docker server or delete the current one and create a new one ?
