Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/7561

What happened?

When building the Docker image locally using packages/sync-server/docker/ubuntu.Dockerfile or packages/sync-server/docker/alpine.Dockerfile, the container starts but immediately crashes with:

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package '@actual-app/crdt' imported from /app/src/app-sync.js

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Clone the repository and check out master (after PR #7541 was merged on 2026-04-18)
  2. Build the Docker image using the ubuntu Dockerfile:
    docker build -f packages/sync-server/docker/ubuntu.Dockerfile .
  3. Run the resulting image

Expected: server starts on port 5006
Actual: container exits immediately with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND: Cannot find package '@actual-app/crdt'

Root cause: PR #7541 changed @actual-app/crdt from an external npm package to a workspace:* dependency. This means yarn workspaces focus --production now creates a symlink node_modules/@actual-app/crdt → ../../packages/crdt instead of installing a real directory. The prod stage copies node_modules but never copies packages/crdt, leaving the symlink dangling.

The Dockerfile already handles this for @actual-app/web (removes the symlink and copies build artifacts manually), but was not updated to do the same for @actual-app/crdt.

Fix: in the builder stage, add:
RUN rm -rf ./node_modules/@actual-app/crdt COPY packages/crdt/package.json ./node_modules/@actual-app/crdt/package.json COPY packages/crdt/dist ./node_modules/@actual-app/crdt/dist

https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/7564 should do it.

Did a slightly different fix here because I don't want to keep having this bug report/conversation each time we add a new package and docker breaks again bc we forgot to add some "cp" operation.
