java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/opt/app-root/src/frontend/node/node"

[Waschnick]

What is the current behavior?

• Trying to run npm in a docker container with alpine linux
• the mvn install build runs normal until it hits the frontend-maven-plugin
• The build run fine on my MacBook, the problem is only if I run it in the docker container (which I do because we use OpenShift and source-to-image from OpenShift to create Kubernetes pods)

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

• created a docker image with alpine linux
• mvn 3.5.0
• create a pom with the frontend plugin

What is the expected behavior? npm install works

Please mention your frontend-maven-plugin and operating system version. Alpine Linux in a Docker container with frontend-maven-plugin 1.5 (also tried 1.4)

Alpine Linux (in Docker) is not compatible with the default linux nodejs binary. This ticket is a duplicate of #287 and #633.
