Latest docker build breaks node-gyp in node-18 about docker-node

[ivanolarocca]

I confirm the problem using node:18-alpine3.19

Running npm i this is the problem shown:

npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path /usr/src/app/node_modules/sharp
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! sharp: Please see https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install for required dependencies
npm ERR! sharp: Installation error: Invalid Version: 1.2.4_git20230717

Downgrade to node:18-alpine3.18 it works.

Had same issues with Sharp too, maybe some compilation libraries (libc, musl) are outdated or updated?

Is there any version I can downgrade for now? I can't get the specific tag, but it seems to be this digest which was working for me: 4bdb3f3105718f0742bc8d64bb4e36e8f955ebbee295325e40ae80bc8ef78833

I downgraded to node:18-alpine3.18 and everything is work for now, I'll continue to follow this issue to upgrade when I can

[yosifkit]

Ah, for some, this looks like a sharp module incompatibility with the newer libvips of the Alpine packages. In Alpine 3.18, libvips is 8.13.3, but it is 8.15.0 in Alpine 3.19 (https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=vips-dev&branch=v3.19).

https://github.com/lovell/sharp/blob/v0.30.7/package.json#L157
https://github.com/lovell/sharp/blob/v0.31.3/package.json#L158
https://github.com/lovell/sharp/blob/v0.32.6/package.json#L162
https://github.com/lovell/sharp/blob/v0.33.0/package.json#L190

I think just updating your sharp dependency should be enough in some cases:

@nschonni I tried following those instructions using node:20-alpine, I had the same build error until I switched to node:20-alpine3.18 without those extra apt packages being installed.

[ticmaidev]

working on node:21-alpine3.18

[nschonni]

The Alpine image never supported node-gyp building without additional packages being added. Instructions can be found here https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/blob/main/docs/BestPractices.md#node-gyp-alpine
Likely the Sharp or other packages were shipping pre-built binaries that aren't currently compatible with the newest Alpine image, no change in this repo will fix that.

[wbecker]

Is it somehow missing python from the install?

[louiswebdev]

We had the latest node:18-alpine image (now pointing to node:18-alpine3.19 instead of node:18-alpine3.18) segfault and had to hardcode not to use the 18-alpine tag but specifically the alpine3.18 based one.

Maybe related?

[louiswebdev]

I can't be very specific publicly, but two of our use cases using the alpine3.19 based node:18 image always exited with exit code: 139

[IbrohimIsroilov]

This is happening when node and sharp versions mismatch in my case. So I recommend trying to install both node and sharp latest versions. Either try downgrading both node and sharp versions as for your needs. In my case, node 16 and sharp 0.30.3 work fine. But sharp 0.30.3 doesn't work with node 20.

[HubertK778]

Changing image from node:18-alpine to node:18-alpine3.18 in my Dockerfile worked for me.

[youxdd]

Why do I still get an error after changing it to node:18-alpine3.18?

[downey88]

I am using image node:20-alpine3.18 from node:18-alpine works for me..

[iRakic]

It works for me also with node:18-alpine3.18. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the next releases.

[andersonaguia]

For me it worked by changing the alpine version to 3.18.

Dockerfile:
FROM node:18-alpine3.18 AS build
