please share your repo

shared monorepo?

what do you mean?

is this a shared monorepo?

oh, yes it is shared monorepo

does the frontend actually use exports from other packages in the repo?

yes, it uses types defined in the backend

then you would not want to set a root directory

yeah, I do not use root directory, I am defining custom build commands. My idea was to somehow install caddy without disturbing backend, and then just serve frontend via caddy, backend is fine as it is

yes you do

yeah, that was a failed experiment 😄

I tried that, since other approach did not work

right so please remove 🙂

removed

you also don't wan't to use cd in build or start commands, if you end up using cd in such a senario, it is likely the incorrect solution

I will write scripts in root package.json to handle this

looks like you already have the script needed to build the frontend build:fe

created scripts to build from root folder

now all 3 services are running from root without cd

awsome, now you have to point nixpacks to the config file using a NIXPACKS_CONFIG_FILE service variable, and have a start script to start caddy

this would help me run custom nixpack for frontend only?

yes

aight, let me try it

cmds = [
'caddy fmt --overwrite ./Caddyfile',
] # format the Caddyfile to fix any formatting inconsistencies

this step fails, even though nixpack is in the same folder. I have tried writing just caddyfile. Should I put full path from root, something like apps/frontend/Caddyfile?

yeah you will need the full path

worked so far, I now get

but I assume I can figure it out from here, thanks!

awesome!
