I asked the question since the generated `Dockerfile` from `forest-cli` is based on top of `node-alpine`, which should lead to a `root:root` user & group, and not `ubuntu:ubuntu` as your output mentioned.

Also, there are no `node_modules` in your output you shared, which leads me to think that you are either using a shared volume, modify the provided `Dockerfile` or that your output does not come from a docker container.

Finally, our provided `.dockerignore` include `.env`, so I’m not sure why you would have this file in the context of your production & not `node_modules`.

Hello, I think I had the exact same issue while trying to deploy the forest admin backend to an ECS cluster in AWS. The installation could not complete because the file .forestadmin-schema.json was not found.

I was using the Dockerfile generated with the project:

```javascript
FROM node:10-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
# install node_modules in another directory to easy mount folder for develoment purpose
ENV NODE_PATH=/usr/src/node_modules
COPY . .
RUN npm install -s --prefix /usr/src .
EXPOSE ${APPLICATION_PORT}
CMD ["npm", "start"]

```

At some point I had no clue what was going on and try to remove the part where the NODE\_PATH is changed “for development purpose”. I then used the following Dockerfile and the error was gone and the file got found.

```javascript
FROM node:10-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . .
RUN npm install 
EXPOSE ${APPLICATION_PORT}
CMD ["npm", "start"]

```

I hope this can help you if you read this tread to the bottom 🙂
