I need to use a standard Alpine docker image and install a specific version of Node and NPM. Heres is my attempt so far:
FROM alpine:3.17.2
RUN apk update
RUN apk upgrade
RUN apk add bash git helm openssh yq github-cli
RUN apk add \
curl \
docker \
openrc
# nvm environment variables
ENV NVM_DIR /usr/local/nvm
ENV NVM_VERSION 0.39.3
ENV NODE_VERSION 18.16.0
# install nvm
# https://github.com/creationix/nvm#install-script
RUN curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v$NVM_VERSION/install.sh | bash
# install node and npm
RUN source $NVM_DIR/nvm.sh \
&& nvm install $NODE_VERSION \
&& nvm alias default $NODE_VERSION \
&& nvm use default
# add node and npm to path so the commands are available
ENV NODE_PATH $NVM_DIR/v$NODE_VERSION/lib/node_modules
ENV PATH $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin:$PATH
RUN ls -asl $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin
RUN ls -asl $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/lib/node_modules/npm/bin
RUN $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin/node -v
RUN $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin/npm install --global yarn
# Start docker on boot
RUN rc-update add docker boot
# Default commands to bash
ENTRYPOINT ["bash"]I am getting this:

#7 DONE 12.7sI am not sure about the "Failed to install Node.js 18.16.0" message, as you will see in my tests with "ls" it seems to be installed?
First I "ls" the bin directory where I expect node to be installed:
RUN ls -asl /usr/local/nvm/versions/node/v18.16.0/bin
#9 sha256:42ba843ab812861bf82e0e493e211095cc749408940b5ec21ce94fabe3997538

My other "ls" gives this:

In my initial post here, I was giving the wrong error message, I am sorry. The error message was from my local machine, which is a Mac with the M2 CPU, and I believe this caused that error, but that is for another day. I need it to run on the build servers, where we are running linux on amd64 so there I have a different error, the following error:
Step 14/17 : RUN $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin/node -v
---> Running in d63ec3b287d9
/bin/sh: /usr/local/nvm/versions/node/v18.16.0/bin/node: not found
The command '/bin/sh -c $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin/node -v' returned a non-zero code: 127
Error: Process completed with exit code 127.So my "ls" say node is there but when I try and run it, it is not?
Best regards
Søren
Here is my solution which is using unofficial node builds from https://nodejs.org/en/download
FROM alpine:3.17.2
ENV NODE_PACKAGE_URL https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/release/v18.16.0/node-v18.16.0-linux-x64-musl.tar.gz
RUN apk add libstdc++
WORKDIR /opt
RUN wget $NODE_PACKAGE_URL
RUN mkdir -p /opt/nodejs
RUN tar -zxvf *.tar.gz --directory /opt/nodejs --strip-components=1
RUN rm *.tar.gz
RUN ln -s /opt/nodejs/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node
RUN ln -s /opt/nodejs/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm
# npm version coming with node is 9.5.1
# To install specific npm version, run the following command, or remove it to use the default npm version:
RUN npm install -g npm@9.6.6
docker build -t node-18.16.0-npm-9.6.6-alpine-3.17.2 .
