How to solve docker related issue with /bin/sh: node-pre-gyp: not found?

A day ago I began to learn about Docker on my own. So I downloaded the app to my Windows 10 desktop and began the tutorial they recommended through the app. At one point they ask me to create a docker file with the following content:

FROM node:12-alpine WORKDIR /app COPY . . RUN yarn install --production CMD ["node", "/app/src/index.js"]

which I did to path: D:\docker_stuff\app under name "Dockerfile" with no extension. Next they ask me to run this command "docker build -t getting-started ." and here is where I am having issues as the command throws errors like:

D:\docker_stuff\app>docker build -t getting-started . Sending build context to Docker daemon 4.673MB Step 1/5 : FROM node:12-alpine ---> 7a48db49edbf Step 2/5 : WORKDIR D:\docker_stuff\app ---> Using cache ---> 44ba6501de00 Step 3/5 : COPY . . ---> 44164775d408 Step 4/5 : RUN yarn install --production ---> Running in 5df554d6bac8 yarn install v1.22.4 [1/4] Resolving packages...

Exit code: 127 Command: node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build Arguments: Directory: /D:docker_stuffapp/node_modules/bcrypt Output: /bin/sh: node-pre-gyp: not found

What I tried:

  1. Installed node

D:\docker_stuff\app>node -v v12.16.3;

  1. Installed npm

D:\docker_stuff\app>npm -v 6.14.4;

  1. Ran command independently: node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build which throws a lot more issues:

  1. Modified the package.json file from the git project where I added line <"bcrypt": "^3.0.6",> under "dependencies": { ;

  2. Python is installed.

I feel that there might be an issue with the package.json file rather than my desktop, but I don't know for sure and if that is the issue how can I fix it? I know I'm a noob but could anyone provide me with some guidance?

Solution

  • "bcrypt": "^3.0.6" requires python to be installed and the image you used in your Dockerfile node:12-alpine is a very minimal image for nodejs.

    Either you use an ubuntu image and install python to the container you are building or you can use bcryptjs instead.

    You can add <"bcryptjs": "^2.4.3",> or just run npm i bcryptjs.

    It says on the README.md of bcyptjs that it will be 30% slower than bcrypt but you won't have to worry about python dependecy on your app.
