Wanted to customize the Corteza application's frontend

[Shahidul]

I wanted to customize the Corteza application’s frontend. I forked Corteza’s official repository.
To achieve my customization:

1. First Attempt (Using Prebuilt Dist File):

• I downloaded the prebuilt dist tar file for the frontend directly from their website.
• I modified the Dockerfile to use this manually downloaded dist file.
• I built the Docker image, and it worked perfectly as expected.

2. Second Attempt (Customizing the Frontend):

• I cloned the full Corteza project from their GitHub repository.
• I made changes to the frontend code provided in the project.
• I used yarn to build the updated frontend, which generated a new dist directory which gives some error.
• I created a new Docker image using my updated dist files.

3. The Problem:

• When I ran the new Docker image, the application launched, but the frontend was broken.
• It appeared that styles and other assets were not loading properly, resulting in a messy, unstyled interface.

Goal:
I want to correctly build and deploy a customized version of the Corteza frontend with my changes, ensuring that all assets (e.g., styles, scripts) load properly.

I used yarn to build the updated frontend, which generated a new dist directory which gives some error.

Guessing this error is the reason. Building Corteza by yourself can be a big task, especially if you don’t have much experience with it.
Either need more info on the errors or you’ll have to dig through them yourself.
