Docker: storefront and dashboard throw NPM errors, but others work fine about saleor-platform

I also have a problem with my Linux. I found that changing the argument of the frontstore service in docker-compose.yaml from --hostname to --host resolve this problem.

For me, admin panel works but the website is not working. I tried it 3 times after remove all volumes and images via docker system prune -a and docker system prune --volumes. I waited a day about 8-9 hrs so that it can work but no changes. the URL 127.0.0.1:3000, 0.0.0.0:3000, localhost:3000 nothing works. rest is working fine.

I got the same issue. I followed the exact steps in saleor-platform repo, the api and the dashboard were just working fine, but the storefront. I also changed from --hostname to --host and it worked. Actually in the docker-compose, it is also like this for the dashboard.

Observations

Windows Docker tested a couple of days ago:

• Backend API was fine
• Dashboard threw NPM errors
• Storefront threw NPM errors

Linux Docker tested yesterday:

• Backend API is fine
• Dashboard is fine
• Storefront throws NPM warnings and doesn't load the storefront website

As hinted by @ptmew , such a commit resolved the storefront issue on Linux:

diff --git a/docker-compose.yml b/docker-compose.yml
index c53b920..ac34d90 100644
--- a/docker-compose.yml
+++ b/docker-compose.yml
@@ -39,7 +39,9 @@ services:
     volumes:
       - ./saleor-storefront/:/app:cached
       - /app/node_modules/
-    command: npm start -- --hostname 0.0.0.0
+    command: npm start -- --host 0.0.0.0

Now the storefront is available at http://localhost:3000

I don't care about Windows anymore. So, I cannot test on the Windows platform.

@ptmew Just curious, how did you figure out to replace --hostname with --host? Did you just randomly do trial-and-error? Did you have any hint from somewhere? What was your research process? Thanks!

On MacOS the "frontstore" does not work even after changing --hostname to --host 😆 The rest works.
