🐛 Bug Report: Incompatible Node version with Vite dependencies #2157
Description
📜 Description
Node version in local/pre-built Frontend's Dockerfile is not compatible with Vite.
👟 Reproduction steps
Running the pre-build docker image
- Run the setup.ps1 script
- Select option 1: Use DocsGPT Public API Endpoint (simple and free, uses pre-built Docker images from Docker Hub for fastest setup)
- Frontend container is unable to start due to an outdated Node version that is incompatible Vite's dependencies
Similar behaviour happens when building the Frontend container locally due to Dockerfile specifying
"FROM node:20.6.1-bullseye-slim".
👍 Expected behavior
The frontend container should run and accessing http://localhost:5173/ should show me an interface.
👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots
