Redis – How to solve "Could not find any Python installation to use" with docker node alpine Image when adding bcrypt to package.json?

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 …

    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.

    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

    Add this in you docker file before npm install:

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

    If you’re working with Python 3, remember to use python3 instead of python.

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

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

    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.

    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

    Correct solution for Alpine would be

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