Migration file resolution fails inside docker container

[Egge21M]

Describe the bug

I am trying to setup programmatic migrations in my dockerized app. However the migration file resolution is failing.

This is the structure of my container with app being the working directory
|
|- app/
|--- index.js
|--- migrations/
|----------migration_file.js

My migrate call looks like this:

  await migrate({
    databaseUrl: dbConfig.connectionString,
    dir: "migrations",
    direction: "up",
    migrationsTable: "pgmigrations",
    count: Infinity,
    log: console.log,
  });

The error I get is
2024-06-03 15:28:02 Error: Can't get migration files: Error: Cannot find module 'migrations/1715943927386_init-schema.js'

It seems like the directory is found, but the call to require fails. I have been trying different things for hours, but can not get it to work.

Steps to reproduce

Clone the repo
git clone -b migrations https://github.com/cashubtc/npubcash-server.git

run with
docker compose up
