Backend container fails with missing entrypoint when built locally

[msinha569]

Description

When the backend service is built locally using:

build: ./surfsense_backend

the container fails to start and shows:

exec /app/scripts/docker/entrypoint.sh: no such file or directory

However, when the backend runs directly from the prebuilt image (using only the image: tag and removing build:), everything works correctly.

image: ghcr.io/modsetter/surfsense_backend:latest

Steps to reproduce

Clone the repository.

In docker-compose.yml, configure the backend service as:

build: ./surfsense_backend
#image: ghcr.io/modsetter/surfsense_backend:latest

Run:

docker compose up -d

Observe container logs:

exec /app/scripts/docker/entrypoint.sh: no such file or directory

Remove the build: line and uncomment the image line -> run again.
→ Backend works as expected.

Expected behavior

The backend container should start successfully regardless of whether it is built locally or pulled from the registry.

Actual behavior

Locally built backend container exits immediately with error code 255 due to a missing or non-executable entrypoint script.

Possible cause

unknown

Environment

OS: Windows 10

Docker Desktop: latest

Compose version: v2.x

Backend directory: ./surfsense_backend

Error code: 255

i can do the temporary fix

@msinha569 images are old. for latest build you need to build from ./surfsense_backend.

try these commands in order:

docker compose down -v
docker compose build --no-cache
docker compose up

@msinha569

modify the last line, which is start command, of dockerfile for surfsense_backend

CMD ["bash", "/app/scripts/docker/entrypoint.sh"]

this should resolve the issue.

@jshmqjw @MODSetter tried it but getting the same error, should i try it on aws instead of docker desktop (windows) ??

My bad.The file entrypoint.sh is end with CRLF,re-edit it with LF.Then it works.

Thanks for your recommendation. Added a simple fix by cursor: #538. Hopefully it fixes it.
