Deploy a monorepo without absolut node_module links

[dotMortis]

I am desperately trying to build a monorepo project with pnpm and then copy it to another server.

I use the commands "pnpm i" followed by "pnpm build" and "pnpm --filter=<deployed project name> --prod deploy <target directory>".

Unfortunately, node modules references are always linked in a bash file, which gets an absolute path to the dependencies. As a result, the project cannot be executed after copying the contents in the <target_directory> to the actual server, because node cannot resolve the dependencies.

Project structure:

• <project_root>
  • <apps>
    • api
    • frontend
  • <internal_packages>

All I need at the end is a folder in which the created "api" or "frontend" project is located with all node module dependencies without wild references from my system on which it is created. So that I can simply move the build to another server and run it with node.

I can't find a way to build the project correctly, HELP.

Found an open issue describing our problem #6166
We still haven't found a working solution.

@dotMortis
Are you on Windows/Linux?
Have you tried zipping the folder with the --symlinks flag?
I had the same problem but solved it and I was able to copy it to the destination and properly resolve the dependencies even on AWS Lambda (and to classic VPS too)

Here is example and described proccess:
