Wrong node version #436

Open ali-lana opened 4 years ago

ali-lana commented 4 years ago

In install node script instead of official node version, jcheng6-centos version is used which is not working on all distributions. For example, on Alpine it creates a lot of dependency issues.

The official Node version won't work on Alpine either, will it? I think Alpine uses musl instead of glibc, while the official Node binaries use glibc.

I was able to create a shiny alpine image by compiling the node from the source code. One can also test building shiny with the official node-alpine images (https://hub.docker.com/_/node/). EOL for Centos 6 is Q4 2020. Maybe, you can drop Centos 6 support and add Alpine support in future. Since the demand for Alpine image will be more than Centos 6.
