Vitepress can't resolve @theme/index import in a node module when run in a docker container

[Arturexe]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to set up vitepress in a docker container and so far the markdown is available through the routes:

but when I try to run vitepress (routing to index.html), it throws this error:

which indicates that there is a problem with resolving an import. It might be caused by the @ in the import. At this point I'm not sure how @ is treated inside of node modules. I would assume that it's not a alias placeholder. Any idea how to approach this issue?

Can you share the dockerfile and docker-compose.yml?

docker/vitepress/Dockerfile:

FROM node:16

EXPOSE 9000

WORKDIR /var/www/html

ADD docker/vitepress/cmd/startnode startnode

RUN install -m 0755 startnode /usr/local/bin

# production mode
#CMD ["node_modules/serve/bin/serve.js", "-s", "-l", "8080", "dist/"]
# local mode
CMD startnode

docker/docker-compose.yml:

  nginx:
    build:
      context: ../.
      dockerfile: ./docker/nginx/Dockerfile
    ports:

      # 443 is the port other bridged Docker Container can access the Service

We have 3 containers in the frontend cluster:

1. nginx container to manage routing and communication with the backend
2. vite for our main app
3. vitepress for the documentation of our main app

Is build working?

[Arturexe]

It builds the .vitepress/dist folder with seemingly correct files inside but when I navigate anywhere in the

https://localhost:5173/vitepress

route, I get the same error.

I had a similar issue with the vitepress-plugin-mermaid addon.

I've solved creating a theme file in .vitepress/theme/index.ts as documented.

I don't need a particular theme so I've just extended the default without any changes.

// Given from https://vitepress.dev/guide/extending-default-theme

import DefaultTheme from 'vitepress/theme'
export default DefaultTheme

the @theme is probably a typescript alias pointing to .vitepress/theme folder on your source code.

I had a similar issue too, The reason for the.vitepress/theme, indeed. thank you, webartoli.
