Answer 1

Try creating the /app folder before

FROM python:3.8
RUN mkdir -p /app
WORKDIR /app 

COPY requirements.txt /
RUN pip install --requirement /requirements.txt

COPY ./app /app

EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["uvicorn", "app.main:app", "--host=0.0.0.0" , "--reload" , "--port", "8000"]

And launching it:

docker-compose up --build
