I see the question is quite old, but I’ve not seen a reply. If still looking for a reply, what I did is to have my Strapi project folder stored in a private git repo. I added the following dockerfile and build my custom image specific for my project and deployed it using an helm chart with this deployment definition.
dockerfile:
FROM node:14 as builderimage
ENV NODE_ENV=production
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . .
COPY .env.example .env
RUN yarn install
RUN yarn build && yarn cache clean
FROM node:14-slim as build
ENV NODE_ENV=production
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY --from=builderimage /usr/src/app .
EXPOSE 80
CMD [ "yarn", "start" ]

I am using Cloudinary, so I do not need a persistent volume locally mounted to store the content.
