I just tried starting from scratch with

`yarn create redwood-app my-redwood-project`

I added `host` to my redwood.toml:

```toml
# This file contains the configuration settings for your Redwood app.
# This file is also what makes your Redwood app a Redwood app.
# If you remove it and try to run `yarn rw dev`, you'll get an error.
#
# For the full list of options, see the "App Configuration: redwood.toml" doc:
# https://redwoodjs.com/docs/app-configuration-redwood-toml

[web]
  title = "Redwood App"
  host = '0.0.0.0'
  port = 8910
  apiUrl = "/.redwood/functions" # You can customize graphql and dbauth urls individually too: see https://redwoodjs.com/docs/app-configuration-redwood-toml#api-paths
  includeEnvironmentVariables = [
    # Add any ENV vars that should be available to the web side to this array
    # See https://redwoodjs.com/docs/environment-variables#web
  ]
[api]
  host = '0.0.0.0'
  port = 8911
[browser]
  open = true
[notifications]
  versionUpdates = ["latest"]

```

I then created a miinimal Dockerfile:

```Dockerfile
# Adjust NODE_VERSION as desired
ARG NODE_VERSION=18.19.0
FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}-slim as base

LABEL fly_launch_runtime="RedwoodJS"

# Install Yarn
ARG YARN_VERSION=4.0.2
RUN corepack enable && \
    yarn set version $YARN_VERSION

# Copy project
WORKDIR /my-redwood-project
COPY . .

# Build application
RUN yarn install && \
    yarn rw build

# Start the server by default, this can be overwritten at runtime
EXPOSE 8910
CMD ["yarn", "rw", "serve"]

```

For the moment, you can see the result here: [https://my-redwood-project.fly.dev/](https://my-redwood-project.fly.dev/) (I’ll take that app down once it serves its purpose).

Clearly this is not a representative project, nor is this an complete Dockerfile, but it does work.

Now I don’t know RedwoodJS, but I do know [fly.io](http://fly.io) and Node.js. What should be changed to make it more representative and exhibit the problem you are seeing?

If possible, I would like the end result of this exercise to be for me to update [fly.io](http://fly.io)’s dockerfile generator to create a Dockerfile that will work for at least your application as that can be the starting point for others.
