+# Now, copy your specific custom configuration files and the prepared content
+# from the root of your deployment repo (the build context's root)
+# into the current WORKDIR (/home/node/app), overwriting any placeholders
+# from the cloned Quartz source if they share the same names/paths.

+# If you have other custom files/dirs at the root of your deployment repo that Quartz needs:
+# e.g., custom assets not part of Obsidian content, or custom components to overlay
+# COPY --chown=node:node assets/ ./assets/
+# COPY --chown=node:node components/ ./components/
 
-# Build the Quartz site (adjust if your build command is different)
-# This usually outputs to a 'public' directory
+# Copy the Obsidian content prepared by the host script into ./content
+COPY --chown=node:node content/ ./content/
+
+# Now run the build command.
+# `npx quartz build` should work because:
+# 1. `npm ci` (based on the framework's package.json) made node_modules/.bin/quartz available,
+#    pointing to the local ./quartz/bootstrap-cli.mjs.
+# 2. It will use your custom quartz.config.ts, quartz.layout.ts, and ./content.
