AWS Elastic Beanstalk Docker Node Typescript Entry point not found

I have an EBS Instance with Platform Docker running on 64bit Amazon Linux/2.16.5

I have a nodejs typescript app which when uploaded needs to be compiled then run.

I get this error in /var/log/eb-docker/containers/eb-current-app/unexpected-quit.log after downloading full logs.

Docker container quit unexpectedly on Thu Mar 11 02:12:43 UTC 2021:

> mybackend@1.0.0 start /usr/src/app
> node ./dist/server.js

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:883
  throw err;
  ^

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Dockerfile

FROM node:14-alpine

WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package*.json ./

RUN npm install
COPY tsconfig*.json ./
COPY src src
RUN npm run build

ENV NODE_ENV=ebs
ENV PORT=8080
ENV HOST=0.0.0.0
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["npm", "start"]

package.json scripts

"scripts": {
    "start": "node ./dist/server.js",
    "build": "tsc",
    "dev": "nodemon",
    "test": "jest --watch"
  },

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "commonjs",
    "outDir": "dist",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "strict": true,
    "target": "es2017",
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "noImplicitAny": false
  },
  "compileOnSave": true,
  "include": [
    "src/",
  ]
}

This works fine locally on my ubuntu machine using docker. It only fails on ebs instance.
