Dockerize VueJS app with node/express in single container

This questions must have been asked many times before but i can't find any solution that can help me solve my problem.

I'm running VueJS application with Express/NodeJS as server and I know the best way is probably to separate them in 2 containers. But how can I make this work in 1 container with multi-stage or any other way.

Any tips would be appreciated! Thank you!

Run multiple services in a container

A container’s main running process is the ENTRYPOINT and/or CMD at the end of the Dockerfile. It is generally recommended that you separate areas of concern by using one service per container. That service may fork into multiple processes (for example, Apache web server starts multiple worker processes). It’s ok to have multiple processes, but to get the most benefit out of Docker, avoid one container being responsible for multiple aspects of your overall application. You can connect multiple containers using user-defined networks and shared volumes.
If you need to run more than one service within a container, you can accomplish this in a few different ways.
