Thanks for these posts. Using these, I was finally able to figure out how to get Django and my create-react-app frontend working together from the same repo. One tip, using a multi-stage build for the production Dockerfile saves you from having to install Node in the container. This is what I have at the top of mine:
FROM node:lts as build-deps
WORKDIR /frontend
COPY ./frontend/package.json ./frontend/yarn.lock ./
RUN yarn
COPY ./frontend /frontend
RUN yarn build
FROM python:3.6
...
Multi-stage builds are great. I did that for a similar project to this but one that dockerizes an express + create-react-app application: github.com/mrcoles/node-react-dock...
# Setup and build the client
FROM node:9.4.0-alpine as client
WORKDIR /usr/app/client/
COPY client/package*.json ./
RUN npm install -qy
COPY client/ ./
RUN npm run build
# Setup the server
FROM node:9.4.0-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/app/
COPY --from=client /usr/app/client/build/ ./client/build/
WORKDIR /usr/app/server/
COPY server/package*.json ./
RUN npm install -qy
COPY server/ ./
ENV PORT 8000
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["npm", "start"]

This helps keep the Docker image for production as small as you can.
