🕵️‍♀️ Stack trace

Stack Trace

## 🙇‍♀️ Expected behavior/code

The container should have started succesfully

## 👩‍💻 Environment

- 📦 Node version: The one in Dockerfile -->  node:16-alpine
- 💻 OS: macOS Monterrey (12.3)

## 💡 Possible Solution

I'm trying copying the package.json from this repo. I suggest to check the script to see if it's missing somewhere

## 📺 Additional context/Screenshots

<!-- Add any other context about the problem here. If applicable, add screenshots to help explain. -->

Could you show me the working directory where your Dockerfile is located ?

[nohorbee]

Sure

As you can see, the package json creation time is 9 minutes after the rest of the files, since I created it manually. Additionally (just in case this information helps), when I created the the project with npx @strapi-community/dockerize and entered the project name, it was created at the folder I was located instead of the one created by the scaffolder.

Please, let me know if you want me try to fix this

But the tool doesn't scaffold out a strapi project, you need a strapi project then run the tool to dockerize it.

[Eventyret]

Will close this issue for now since it's the way you set it up. Will try make it a bit clearer for user you need to run it IN a strapi project not use it to create one.
