No package.json when installed in a Kubernetes cluster

[V1210N]

Preflight Checklist

• I have completed all Troubleshooting Steps.
• I'm on the latest version of Directus.
• There's no other issue that already describes my problem.

Describe the Bug

Installing Directus via its Dockerhub container image on a Kubernetes cluster will cause the image to not have its package.json.

There are no traces of the Dockerfile's builder steps, which indicate that these might be getting skipped over. There is also no node_modules folder.

The absence of package.json and node_modules leads to extensions being unable to be loaded.

To Reproduce

I used a basic setup with a custom helm chart, however, this is likely also reproducible in other chart setups.

1. Install the Directus helm chart.
2. Once the deployment is up and running, SSH into the Directus Pod.
3. Go to the default install directory /directus and run ls.
4. At this point you'll notice the absence of both package.json and node_modules.

What version of Directus are you using?

9.0.0-rc.95

What version of Node.js are you using?

16.9.1

What database are you using?

Postgres 12.8

What browser are you using?

(irrelevant)

What operating system are you using?

Linux (Directus' Dockerfile)

How are you deploying Directus?

Kubernetes

[paescuj]

The Docker image shouldn't behave differently on Kubernetes, so this must have something to do with your deployment configuration. Looking at the deployment.yaml file, it seems like you're mounting the whole /directus folder instead of /directus/uploads (see https://docs.directus.io/guides/installation/docker/#persistence).
