Docker Build Fails After Cursor Code Changes
Docker build fails with errors after Cursor modified your application code. The build process was working before the refactoring, but now fails at various stages.
The Dockerfile or build artifacts may have been inadvertently modified, or dependencies changed.
Error Messages You Might See
failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to build
ERROR: could not resolve image
ERROR: failed to fetch required packages
No such file or directory in build
Common Causes
- Dockerfile FROM statement changed or invalid image specified
- Required build dependencies not included in build stage
- Layer caching broke due to adding steps before installing deps
- New package requires system library not in base image
- Build command changed or no longer matches project structure
How to Fix It
Verify Dockerfile base image exists and is accessible: docker pull node:20. Ensure dependencies install before copying code for layer caching. Run docker build --no-cache to force full rebuild. Check Docker logs with -v flag.

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

I've been working at a large software company named Kainos for 2 years, and mainly specialise in Platform Engineering. I regularly enjoy working on software products outside of work, and I'm a huge fan of game development using Unity. I personally enjoy Python & C# in my spare time, but I also specialise in multiple different platform-related technologies from my day job.

You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How do I debug Docker build?
Add RUN echo statements between steps. Use docker build --no-cache. Check final image with docker run.
How do I make Docker build faster?
Order Dockerfile steps: FROM, RUN apt-get, COPY package.json, RUN npm install, COPY app. Changes to app don't invalidate dependency layers.
