The current version of nvm look for node distribution file which is not present and older version of nvm do find and install node but that does not work #3503

rguptak · 2025-01-06T15:17:26Z

Operating system and version:

Operating System: Alpine Linux v3.21 (containerized)

`nvm debug` output:

I do not get to the debug

`nvm ls` output:

How did you install `nvm`?

What steps did you perform?

Install necessary packages

RUN addgroup -S node && adduser -S node -s /bin/sh -D node && apk update && apk add --no-cache
ca-certificates
curl
bash
wget
git
nmap
openssh
html-xml-utils
jq
python3
python3-dev \
make
openssh-client

Install NVM

RUN curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash

Modify PATH to include NVM

ENV PATH="/root/.nvm/versions/node/$(nvm version)bin:$PATH"

Install the latest Node.js version using NVM

RUN source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh &&
nvm install --lts

Set default Node.js version

RUN source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh &&
nvm use --lts

Verify Node.js and npm installation

RUN source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh &&
node -v && npm -v

Set default Node.js version

RUN source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh &&
nvm debug

What happened?

If I use current nvm (v0.40.1) it looks for a file - which is not present see these few lines of output

If I use older nvm (v0.39.3) it download and install the node but the node -v fails and node is not present. See the output

A typical node install using apk add or using n package I end up getting older version 22.11.0 and I need to get 22.12.0

What did you expect to happen?

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the `PATH`?

If you are having installation issues, or getting "N/A", what does `curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/` print out?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

rguptak · 2025-01-06T15:31:28Z

I added following command before the install an here is the output

RUN source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
&& curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/
&& nvm ls
&& nvm debug \

Please fill out the issue template; it’s there for a reason.

You shouldn’t be modifying the PATH at all; nvm does that for you.

As for busybox, i believe it’s so is not posix compliant - you may need to install a working one. See also https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm?tab=readme-ov-file#installing-nvm-on-alpine-linux

Thank you for the prompt response and I changed the script based on the link you provided... and the script looks like this and see the output below. (This has portion of nvm debug output)

Please note that yesterday, in one of the test it downloaded the source and compiled it even after that I was seeing the older nodejs (22.11.0) not the current one (22.12.0).

My goal is to get the 22.12.0 node js. I even tried the npm package n to get the latest and it also get one version older... is there something wrong at the nodejs provider... the default installation also get the one version older...

Script:
RUN addgroup -S node && adduser -S node -s /bin/sh -D node && apk update && apk add --no-cache
nodejs
npm
git
nmap
curl
wget
gawk
openssh

make
bash

openssl

&& apk update
&& apk upgrade

So, that the prefix is showing up as /usr/local is a problem - do you have the PREFIX env var set? Note that termux sets this, which means it’s incompatible with npm.

Also, nvm debug is failing correctly; it’s not meant to ever return a zero exit code.

rguptak · 2025-01-06T18:19:21Z

Once again thank you for your kind attention and time...
I'm not setting the PREFIX, In the few lines above you can see it is blank.

#5 0.300 $PREFIX: ''
#5 0.309 ${NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX}: ''

I do use a base image that is built by another group. An it is possible that they may be doing some with it. Is there something I could do to overwrite the value. If so, what value I should set...

And in the next run should I remove nvm debug as this stops the script for me...

ljharb · 2025-01-06T18:34:29Z

It's fine to include nvm debug, but you don't want its return code to abort the process - so maybe nvm debug || echo or something.

Why does it think that $NVM_DIR is /bin? Shouldn't it be $HOME/.nvm?

rguptak · 2025-01-07T00:37:41Z

After I added these in the script it downloaded the source and try to compile but never finished,..

RUN source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
&& export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
&& [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
&& echo 'export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"' > ~/.bashrc
&& echo '[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"' >> ~/.bashrc
&& cat ~/.bashrc

ljharb · 2025-01-07T00:48:47Z

Compiling node does take a long time.

tbh i'd suggest not using alpine at all; its small size means you have to spend lots of time and disk space doing all the things it's missing.

rguptak · 2025-01-07T02:32:42Z

It seems the nvm would not work for me... would you recommend any other alternate. The default nodejs installation and using npm package n and even apk add all are end up getting one version older which is strange... why would it not get the lts?

ljharb · 2025-01-07T02:55:02Z

I can't help with alternatives to nvm, unfortunately. Is there a reason you are required to use alpine/busybox as your base image?

rguptak · 2025-01-07T18:57:11Z

No worries. Our company policy is to use the (Golden) image they provide as base. It seems nvm is not going to work in this scenario and you can close the ticket.

I'm still curious why the standard install get me a version older and I can't find the answer for it. Since the standard install did not worked that is why I looked into using the nvm.
