Your issue is a combination of https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/issues/2158 and https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/issues/1065.
The following works
FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /home/node
RUN set -ex; \
apk add --no-cache --virtual .gyp \
# Gyp build dependencies
python3 make g++ \
# Canvas build dependencies
pixman-dev cairo-dev pango-dev pkgconfig; \
npm install canvas; \
apk del .gyp
This solution didn't work for me but I found a way to get it to work. Docker updated Alpine yesterday and reverse my dockerfile to the previous one worked : lts-alpine3.19 for Node 20 or 18-alpine3.19 for Node 18.
@maxime-gd what error do you have? It worked for me for both alpine 3.19 and 3.20
Ran into the same distutils issue in a different project, had to revert to alpine3.19 to fix.
I think maybe the python version was updated in alpine3.20 (to 3.12) and thus distutils is no longer available by default, so something like pip3 install setuptools
would be required to fix. Haven't gotten this working fully yet though.
The same one as @sabreu-teknorix and @alex-statsig : distutils missing.
The issue is this: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2869 and affects node:20-alpine and probably others as well. This is not just a canvas issue, it affects all node-gyp builds.
apk add py-setuptools
appears to fix it.
Maybe we need to append the docs about building native deps to document this
PR to update the docs: #2099
Environment
Expected Behavior
build should not fail
