I have built my Docker image for my ReactJS app. I run the image locally and tested it, which works fine.

I'm using Google Cloud Build which automatically puts my container image to gcr.io container repo.

Then I try to create a deployment from my container image which resides in gcr.io

But the deployment is not successfully finishing. It gives me

Pod errors: CrashLoopBackOff

Does not have minimum availability

Here is my Docker image.

FROM node:latest
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package.json .
RUN npm install
COPY . ./
EXPOSE 3000
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]

When I look at the pod -> container logs, I see my app has been restarting without any error log.

I suspect what happens is, kubernetes does not wait enough and try to restart application.

I'm not using a deployment.yaml but simply using the GCP console. There is no health endpoint in my ReactJS app.

This is the output for kubectl describe pod ...
