docker executable file not found in $PATH" react image - reactjs

Question

I am trying to run a freshly create react app made with create-react-app in docker. I have a Docker file which succesfully allows me to build the image, but when I try to run it I get:
PS C:\Users\Bertinator\desktop\gamelist\client> docker run client4 .
container_linux.go:265: starting container process caused "exec: \".\":
executable file not found in $PATH"
C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe: Error response from
daemon: oci runtime error: container_linux.go:265: starting container
process caused "exec: \".\": executable file not found in $PATH".
ERRO[0001] error waiting for container: context canceled
PS C:\Users\Bertinator\desktop\gamelist\client>
This is my Docker file, which is place in the root folder of my create-react-app project:
FROM node:7.8.0
ENV NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL warn
COPY . .
RUN npm run build --production
RUN npm install -g serve
CMD serve -s build
EXPOSE 5000

Answer 1

Are you running from a Linux docker image on a Windows machine? That does not work.
Ref http://training.play-with-docker.com/beginner-linux/
(...) Linux containers require the Docker host to be running a Linux kernel. For example, Linux containers cannot run directly on Windows Docker hosts. The same is true of Windows containers - they need to run on a Docker host with a Windows kernel.
When you say docker run client4 . you are asking docker to run that container and execute the . (dot) command which does not make sense. That is why you are getting the first error.
