[thalesmaoa]

What are the steps to reproduce?

Run latest image on a 32bit buster Raspberry Pi 3 armv7l.

What happens?

The problem seems to emerged from the latest image (22 days ago). I wasn`t able to identify the before lastest to test. With some guidance, I can test.

If I add env variable, it crashes as well:

You could try either of the following

image: nodered/node-red:3.0.2
image: nodered/node-red:2.2

See also DockerHub - you need to go to the second page to find older images.

Thx @Paraphraser

I confirm that it does work for older version:

services:
  nodered-casa:
    #image: nodered/node-red:latest
    image: nodered/node-red:3.0.2
    container_name: nodered-casa
    restart: no
    ports:
      - '1881:1880'
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    environment:
      - TZ=America/Sao_Paulo
      - NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=256
    logging:
      options:
        max-size: "100m"
        max-file: "3"

[Paraphraser]

And I can confirm that latest works on a Raspberry Pi 4B running Bullseye 64-bit.

I don't have a 3B so I can't test that hardware.

Although we'll have to wait for confirmation from the good folks who maintain this repo, I suspect your problem might turn out to be a Buster dependency. You might want to give some thought to upgrading to Bullseye or Bookworm.

[hardillb]

As the first error is getting thrown while trying to load Node-RED nodes can you include the package.json from your mounted /data directory so we can see what nodes you have installed.

Also have you installed any new nodes or upgraded a node recently?

[hardillb]

Also given the latest tag tracks Node-RED releases are you sure you had run this setup on Node-RED 3.1.0 before, especially as it runs with the 3.0.2 tag? When was the last time you pulled the container/

[hardillb]

As for the separate problem with setting an environment variable, I can't reproduce that locally wit the latest container and it shouldn't be possible looking at the entrypoint.sh script as the order of the script and the NODE_OPTIONS env var are the wrong way round.

Hi @hardillb , you gave me a lot of contributions. I really appreciate it. You are correct. This is the only RPi running buster, others are all running bullseye. Your answer hit bullseye :laughing:.

Thx a lot!

I will upgrade, but the last post solve it for a while.
