How to dockerize a meteor fresh application?

Question

I am trying to dockerize a meteor application (v1.6.1) by building a docker image using Dockerfile and creating and running a container using docker-compose.yml but all my trials failed.

I have used this command to build a docker meteor image

docker build -t badis/meteor .

I have a good experience using meteor and little using docker.

Here my Dockerfile

FROM node:carbon

# Create app directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# Install app dependencies
# A wildcard is used to ensure both package.json AND package-lock.json are copied
# where available (npm@5+)
COPY package*.json ./

RUN curl https://install.meteor.com/?release=1.6.1 | sh
RUN npm install
# If you are building your code for production
# RUN npm install --only=production

# Bundle app source
COPY . .

EXPOSE 8080
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]

Here my .dockerignore

node_modules
npm-debug.log

Here my docker-compose.yml

dashboard:
  image: badis/meteor
  ports:
   - "81:80"
  links:
   - mongo
  environment:
   - MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo/boiler
   - ROOT_URL=http://localhost


mongo:
  image: mongo:3.2

The error is quite self-explanatory. You need to pass --allow-superuser when running the meteor build command.
