Nginx with my web application

Hello there! Been trying out a few different services to see where I want to host my web app. Frontend: React Backend: Golang I've got the backend up and running without any issues. I'm having some trouble getting my frond end up and running. I've tried with/without a docker file. Currently with the dockerfile the application is building fine, but crashes. Error:

Dockerfile:

FROM node:14 as build
WORKDIR /client

COPY package.json .
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM nginx
COPY --from=build /client/build /usr/share/nginx/html
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

FROM node:14 as build
WORKDIR /client

COPY package.json .
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM nginx
COPY --from=build /client/build /usr/share/nginx/html
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

nginx.conf

http {
  server {
    server_name my_server.railway.internal;
    
    location / {
      root /usr/share/nginx/html; 
    }

    location /api/ {
      proxy_pass http://my_server.railway.internal;
    }
  }
}
events {}

http {
  server {
    server_name my_server.railway.internal;
    
    location / {
      root /usr/share/nginx/html; 
    }

    location /api/ {
      proxy_pass http://my_server.railway.internal;
    }
  }
}
events {}

From what I can tell from the docs and other support tickets something like this should be possible. Just not sure what I'm missing. Thank you for any help!
