Docker Node not installing on alpine

Question

I have the following Docker file directives:

RUN apk update && apk add --no-cache wget
RUN apk add --no-cache --repository http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main libuv \
    && apk add --no-cache --update-cache --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main nodejs nodejs-npm \
    && echo "NodeJS Version:" "$(node -v)" \
    && echo "NPM Version:" "$(npm -v)"

I was able to build without problems since yesterday, but today I get the following error:

1.16.0-alpine: Pulling from library/nginx

Any idea how to solve the RSA_get0_pss_params: symbol not found?

Thank you

EDIT:

Whole Docker file:

FROM nginx:1.16.0-alpine

RUN apk update && apk add --no-cache wget
RUN apk add --no-cache --repository http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main libuv \
    && apk add --no-cache --update-cache --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main nodejs nodejs-npm \
    && echo "NodeJS Version:" "$(node -v)" \
    && echo "NPM Version:" "$(npm -v)" 

RUN node --version
RUN apk add --update npm

Weird thing is that I was literally building yesterday around 12:00 and at 17:00, the build did not work anymore.

Does this answer your question? [Install node in Dockerfile?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36399848/install-node-in-dockerfile) — eol, Nov 14 '21 at 11:48
Can you use the Docker Hub `node` image here, and if you need Nginx, run it in a separate container? — David Maze, Nov 14 '21 at 12:34
You can even use `node` image based on alpine image and add necessary packages/[applications if needed. — Anatoly, Nov 14 '21 at 12:38

Solution:

FROM nginx:1.16.0-alpine
RUN apk update && apk add --no-cache wget
RUN apk add --no-cache libuv \
    && apk add --no-cache --update-cache  nodejs nodejs-npm \
    && echo "NodeJS Version:" "$(node -v)" \
    && echo "NPM Version:" "$(npm -v)"

Explain:

First check out the accepted answer in: Alpine linux in Docker container => `env: can't execute 'node': No such file or directory`.

The Alpine distro is based on a libc variant called musl-libc. The node binary you are installing is compiled against glibc, as most (all?) other standard distros use the more commonly used glibc standard library.

You install libuv and node.js from two different alpine mirrors, the reason could be a misconfigured or outdated libuv IMO.

I found the solution, Alpine changed his repos – Green Nov 17 '21 at 08:16 — Green, Nov 17 '21 at 08:16
