I tried hosting it on GKE but failed. It is not able to detect the main index.js file somehow. What to do?

Okay, so I was using the Docker Install to run the app locally using docker-compose.yml, I wanted to host it as a service on Google cloud. Turns out simple Cloud Run service deployment is not possible because it's not a simple, single-container app. So, I broke it down to three separate containers with three deployment and service YAML files and tried to deploy on a GKE cluster that I created. Now, the rest of the two containers are running fine but for the api container, I'm getting this error:

> LibreChat@0.5.2 backend
> cross-env NODE_ENV=production node api/server/index.js

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1093
  throw err;
  ^

}

Node.js v19.9.0

Am I doing something wrong?
Or, is there a way to convert it into a single-container app and host it on Google Cloud Run?

I would need more info on how your compose file looks like for the former question. My guess is you removed volumes and they are not being referenced correctly in the container, but for this

Or, is there a way to convert it into a single-container app and host it on Google Cloud Run?

Yes, you can omit meilisearch and mongodb completely and just use mongodb atlas for the mongo_uri var.

I made a compose file working for you, let me know if it works, about to push it up to main.

If it works, writing a guide would be really appreciated!

Just pushed: #676

single-compose.yml:

• Dockerfile for building app image without meilisearch and mongodb services
  • This is useful for deploying on Google, Azure, etc., as a single, leaner container.
• From root dir of the project, run docker-compose -f ./docs/dev/single-compose.yml up --build
  • When you don't need to build, run docker-compose -f ./docs/dev/single-compose.yml up
• This requires you use a MongoDB Atlas connection string for the MONGO_URI env var
  • A URI string to a mongodb service accessible to your container is also possible.
  • Remote Meilisearch may also be possible in the same manner, but is not tested.

Keep me updated on this!
