EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["npm", "start"]

the error is

You installed esbuild on another platform than the one you're currently using.
This won't work because esbuild is written with native code and needs to
install a platform-specific binary executable.

Specifically the "esbuild-darwin-arm64" package is present but this platform
needs the "esbuild-linux-arm64" package instead. People often get into this
situation by installing esbuild on Windows or macOS and copying "node_modules"
into a Docker image that runs Linux, or by copying "node_modules" between
Windows and WSL environments.

Answer 1

You've copied node_modules from your local environment to the container. Locally you have packages for the darwin-arm64 arch, but inside the container, it is a Linux system that requires packages for linux-arm64.

To avoid such errors you should not copy node_modules to the container.

All you need is to add node_modules to .dockerignore file
