Trying to deploy MERN app using separate folders

1

I’m trying to deploy the client folder for my MERN app first. It contains a .Dockerfile. And I got this error.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

If you have a .Dockerfile in a client folder of your repo you’ll probably want to set the service “Root Directory” to client. You’ll also want to set the Dockerfile name in the service settings as the leading period isn’t standard.

Hope that helps

Alan

For some reason I couldn’t access the client folder even in GitHub so I guess that was why “client” wasn’t working. It is now though. I had to delete the client and then re-add it. But it’s working. Thank you!
