Step 13/15 : COPY .env . COPY failed: stat

The error appears because there is no .env file and no dist folder.
First of all you need to create a .env file at the root of your project structure in order to provide the needed environment variables (e.g. like name, host, port, password and user of your database connection). Next run npm run build to build your project, which will create the dist folder (see your tsconfig.json).
