Trying to deploy strapi with docker but i’m greeted with this Error:

Cannot find module '../build/Release/sharp-linuxmusl-x64.node'

I’ve Tried the following solutions provided

 Possible solutions:
strapi    | - Install with verbose logging and look for errors: "npm install --ignore-scripts=false --foreground-scripts --verbose sharp"
strapi    | - Install for the current linuxmusl-x64 runtime: "npm install --platform=linuxmusl --arch=x64 sharp"
strapi    | - Consult the installation documentation: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install

but it didn’t work,
I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong

What Dockerfile are you using?

Experienced this same problem. It was because I didn’t have a .dockerignore file in the root directory so the local node_modules folder was getting copied over by docker. It would be helpful if this was mentioned in the Strapi docs for those just getting started with Docker.

Your .dockerignore should contain the following:

.tmp/
.cache/
.git/
build/
node_modules/
.env
data/

If you use @strapi-community/dockerize, it will create this file and your other docker files for you.

I have a similar issue. The build works correctly on local machine via Docker but in the CI(Gitlab), the build breaks.

The logs suggested a missing dependency(sharp) but after installing it as a dependency, I still get an error.

Please see below the log output.

I’m not sure what’s failing at the moment. I have my Dockerfile & .dockerignore in the root project.

Thank you

I found the issue.

When the app is starting, do not do anything(register an accout, create content, etc)
After you setup everything in the CI/CD and deploy, then you can create the content.

Sharp is building during modules installation (yarn install in my case) so release file was created for my local machine which is different than required by this strapi plugin. Fixed by this command:

npm_config_arch=arm64 npm_config_platform=linux npm_config_libc=musl yarn install

These ENV variables are used in: node_modules/sharp/lib/platform.js
