I can't build Lighterpack

[ilsaul]

Hi,
I can't build it. I have:

• Debian 12.6
• Docker version 27.0.3, build 7d4bcd8

I execute the command
$ sudo docker build -t lightpack:0.0.1 -t lightpack:latest .

Error:

Fix for Docker Build Error (Debian + Node.js 4.2.6 → npm EMISSINGARG)

Problem: Your build fails because:

• Node.js 4.2.6 (too old for modern packages like webpack 5).
• npm 3.5.2 (buggy, throws EMISSINGARG).
• Debian’s default repos provide ancient Node.js versions.

---

Solution: Use Debian 12 + Node.js 18 (via NodeSource)

Update your Dockerfile to use Debian 12 (Bookworm) and install Node.js 18 via NodeSource:

# Use Debian 12 (Bookworm) as base
FROM debian:12
Install dependencies and Node.js 18.x
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends 

git 

curl 

ca-certificates 

gnupg2 

&& curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | bash - 

&& apt-get install -y nodejs 

&& npm install -g npm@latest  # Update npm to latest
Clone and install the app
WORKDIR /var/www/lighterpack

COPY . .

RUN npm install

---

Alternative: Use Official node:18 Image (Recommended)

If you don’t need Debian specifically, the simplest fix is to switch to the official Node.js image (Debian-based):

FROM node:18-bookworm  # Debian 12 + Node.js 18
WORKDIR /var/www/lighterpack

COPY . .

RUN npm install

---

Why This Works

Issue	Fix	Result
Node.js 4.2.6 → too old	Node.js 18.x (LTS)	Compatible with modern packages
npm 3.5.2 → buggy	npm 9.x	No EMISSINGARG errors
Debian old repos	NodeSource or node:18	Gets latest Node.js
