Unable to create any barcode in docker with alpine linux

[Hixqqo]

I am trying to use this library inside of a docker container, everything seems to be fine but if I run my code (even if it's just a basic example from your documentation) it gets stuck with no error or anything.

Docker image is based on node-alpine:

• Node.js version: 15.10.0
• alpine linux version: 3.13

EDIT: it doesn't matter if I use higher version of node or alpine

Here is a snippet of my code (it gets stuck on createStream line):

console.log('before')
  try {
    const data = await createStream({
      symbology: SymbologyType.CODE11,
    }, '8765432164')

   console.log(data)
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e)
  }
  console.log('after')

Console output:

before

I confirmed that running the default Linux pre-built binary on Alpine results in a SIGSEGV. However, I was able to get it to work by manually building the symbology package using yarn build, which resulted in the correct output:

As of v3.0.13, Symbology now supports a simple command to rebuild the binary. I've also updated the docs to clarify why this step may be necessary for Alpine.

For future installations, install dependencies with npm_config_build_from_source set as true:

npm i symbology --build-from-source=true

or for yarn:

npm_config_build_from_source=true yarn add symbology

For an existing installation:

1. cd node_modules/symbology
2. yarn install:rebuild
