Before I added bcrypt to my package.json, everything was working fine. Now, I get the error message below.

This is an excerpt of my package.json:

  "dependencies": {
    "bcrypt": "3.0.6",
    "express": "^4.17.1",
    "mongodb": "^3.3.1",
    "nodemailer": "^6.3.0",
    "pm2": "^3.5.1",
    "redis": "^2.8.0",
    "xlsx": "^0.15.0"
  },

This is my dockerfile. I am using the offical node alpine image. I wonder if alpine has phyton already installed.

FROM node:13.5.0-alpine

WORKDIR /usr/app

COPY ./src .

RUN npm install

I get this error message when I run docker-compose:

How can I solve this issue? Do I have to install phyton on alpine or just add the env variable? If so, please tell me how. I have already searched for solutions but no one worked ...

People like the Alpine base images because they're very small; because they're very small, they don't contain things like language interpreters that you don't explicitly install. – Poultice

For the sake of completeness: I solved it.

The solution was to replace the dependency "bcrypt" with "bcryptjs".

With bcryptjs there are no errors. Neither with standard node docker images nor node alpine docker images.

Add this in you docker file before npm install:

For Python 3

RUN apk add --update python3 make g++\
   && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

For Python 2

RUN apk add --update python make g++\
   && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

This is the correct answer actually. npm builds native packages and node-gyp is dependent on python. Additionally, you can use multistage build if you don't really want those build tools in the final image. docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build – Knackwurst
I think this one should be the accepted answer because if it works on alpine images there wouldn't be a need to use bulky node images unnecessarily. But currently this is failing for me using node:14-alpine version. – Rankin
python2 has been discontinued, so only option is to use python3 now – Rankin
as @Rankin mentioned I couldn't use the above command verbatim. i had to use python3: RUN apk add --no-cache python3 – Dilapidation
updated the original answer to include the python3 command as well. – Linetta

Open Powershell with administrator privileges and run this command, then proceed with bcrypt installation

Windows: npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

Linux Alpine is very minimalist image. If performance is not a restriction, you may want to consider using the official node image that has all the dependencies you need and just worry about development: https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node So, you can have a Dockerfile like this:

FROM node:10
WORKDIR /usr/app
COPY ./src .
RUN npm install
EXPOSE 3000 # Use here the port you want to expose

Correct solution for Alpine would be

RUN apk add --no-cache python3 make g++

Compose file to run node server in Dockerfile

FROM node:16.8.0-alpine
ENV SERVER_HOME=/usr/src/server/
WORKDIR $SERVER_HOME
COPY ./package*.json $SERVER_HOME
RUN npm install -g [email protected]
RUN apk add --update python3 make g++ && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*
RUN npm install
COPY . $SERVER_HOME
#EXPOSE 5000
CMD npm run build
CMD npm run start

I faced an issue in installing the node module in the alpine image so python is not found in alpine so I run this with python3 RUN apk add --update python3 make g++ && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/* everything worked fine if you still face issue replace npm install with npm install --force

I have resolved this just by downloading and installing python from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

The problem for me was with pg-native dependency using node-gyp incorrectly.

Found the solution from this link - node-gyp failure pg-native

Extract from the comment that helped:

A: Don't use two different db libraries by accident: i.e. pg and pg.js.

B: Be cautious using things like sequelize that you may have flagged the 'native' option in initializing your connection to the DB. This will also often cause this error.

C: Lastly, I often remove the pg-native library entirely. Causes strange errors that are not consistent with node-gyp.

I just ran into this issue today and ended up switching from alpine to bookworm:

FROM --platform=linux/amd64 node:20-bookworm

It's not worth the headache to force it with alpine docker image when debian will work without a hitch.

I fix this error only changing the image of node:

From this:

# build stage
FROM node:18-alpine as build-stage
...

To this:

# build stage
FROM node:18 as build-stage
...
