I'm using alpine linux within my containers. A while back I had the same error as Package cairo was not found in the pkg-config search path. Node j.s install canvas issue I added the following snippet to my Dockerfile:
# Install cairo for one of our frontend dependencies
RUN apk add --update --no-cache cairo \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
This made the error go away (at least according to my memory, it's been a few months).
Today this error popped up again when running docker-compose exec web yarn watch. Here's the full output of the error:

Package cairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'cairo', required by 'virtual:world', not found

I can prove Cairo is on the container:

I don't see any cairo.pc file anywhere after some browsing, so how can I determine what step I need to take to educate my yarn install on the location of cairo?
