I can not even build your application using docker…
Step 7/9 : RUN apk --no-cache add inotify-tools
---> Running in 4e1e25cd4002
/bin/sh: 1: apk: not found
Some steps earlier you are using apt to install…
After applying the following diff, I was at least able to build and start your application.

I was able to fetch http://localhost:4000/ using curl after it was started. Using the browser though, I realized no assets have been built.
I won’t dig into that issue right now, as it would include setting up node-js properly in docker.
Perhaps you should switch to beardedegale/alpine-phoenix-builder as a base image, it comes with everything included…
PS: I also added a .dockerignore-file with the following content:
Dockerfile
deps
_build
