Can't build mozjpeg on Alpine Linux

Question

I spent hours trying different node images and install different packages but nothing helped. On the host system I don't seem to have any issue when running npm run dev , but when using Docker (Alpine Linux) I get this output:

Answer 1

I will answer my own question. Apparently when I tried to fix npm vulnerabilities, under resolutions I specified "bin-build" , which rose the error: TypeError: BinBuild is not a constructor .

Regardless, the main issue was how to make imagemin work smoothly on Linux. The following settings are working perfectly fine:

My updated Dockerfile

RUN npm i npm@latest -g

    && dpkg -i /tmp/libpng12.deb \
