Run docker-compose up --build.
Make changes to index.js and see the server restart.

For those who are having the issue of it not updating you must start nodemon with the -L flag to catch file changes
Work for me! Thanks!
For those who are having the issue of it not updating you must start nodemon with the -L flag to catch file changes
Thx a lot.
For those who are interested, in the documentation -L option means --legacy-watch which enables Chokidar's polling.

It's work for me. Thank you!

This worked for me !!!
For those who're wondering where the -L flag comes from https://github.com/remy/nodemon/blob/main/lib/cli/parse.js#L132
Starting docker with docker-compose start, it's doens't starts nodemon.
My package.json:
"start.dev": "nodemon -L"
I've tried in that way too:
"start": "nodemon -L ts-node-dev -r tsconfig-paths/register src/infra/api.ts",
Then I've got:
Error: Cannot find module '/usr/app/ts-node-dev' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:933:15) at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:778:27) at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12) at main (/usr/app/node_modules/ts-node/src/bin.ts:198:14) at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/app/node_modules/ts-node/src/bin.ts:288:3) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1097:14) at Object.Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1149:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:975:32) at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:822:12) at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12)
What am I doing wrong?
@guilhermealbino33 If you're using ts-node-dev you don't need nodemon. So your script might look something like this:
"start.dev": "ts-node-dev -r tsconfig-paths/register src/infra/api.ts"
If that doesn't auto restart on file changes, it looks like it takes a --poll flag:
"start.dev": "ts-node-dev --poll -r tsconfig-paths/register src/infra/api.ts"
But that does make it much more CPU heavy since it's reading the container file system every so often to detect changes.
Even using --poll it doesn't auto restart.
Using ts-node with docker it have never auto restarted in my api.
I was able to make this gist work on my machine with the following changes:
package.json
{
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "node index",
"start.dev": "ts-node-dev index"
},
"dependencies": {
"express": "^4.17.2"
},
"devDependencies": {
"nodemon": "^2.0.15",
"ts-node-dev": "^1.1.8"
}
}More complex environments may require more tweaking. It may also matter what version of docker you're using and your operating system. I'm currently using:
macOS 12.1 21C52 arm64
Docker version 20.10.11, build dea9396
The -L worked for me thanks!

That worked for thank you ❤️
-L alone didn't help me. adding specific config file nodemon.json or config within package.json can help
