Dockerized strapi production vs development

Thanks for the reply! One question that I have is, having done the build, do I really need to do strapi start or I can simply serve it using for instance NGINX? I am mainly asking this because of two things, the cron tasks and the lifecycle hooks that I’ve set. If I don’t do the strapi start I think that this functionality will be lost, or am I wrong?

The main question here is actually, is doing a strapi start valid (in terms of performance/security/etc.) for production usage?

Will you be willing to share your dokku configuration? I don’t actually know much abount serving apps that’s why I might be asking these kind of silly questions.
