Cannot install sharp on M1 Mac with Debian Stretch based Docker container

[MattyPalka]

Did you see the documentation relating to installation?
yes

Have you ensured the architecture and platform of Node.js used for npm install is the same as the architecture and platform of Node.js used at runtime?
yes

Are you using the latest version? Is the version currently in use as reported by npm ls sharp the same as the latest version as reported by npm view sharp dist-tags.latest?
yes (0.29.0)

If you are using npm v6 or earlier and installing as a root or sudo user, have you tried with the npm install --unsafe-perm flag?
n/a

If you are using npm v7, does the user running npm install own the directory it is run in?
n/a

If you are using the ignore-scripts feature of npm, have you tried with the npm install --ignore-scripts=false flag?
no

What is the complete output of running npm install --verbose sharp? Have you checked this output for useful error messages?

What is the output of running npx envinfo --binaries --system?

Issue occurs on M1 Mac when I try yarn install dependencies (including sharp) on Docker. However it is fine when I yarn install locally.

What I did is to ensure that I'm using latest sharp 0.29.0. I also installed libvips globally with homebrew. It all works fine if I just yarn install from terminal, however if I go to docker it fails with the following error. To my Dockerfile I also added apt-get libvips but this didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Hi, did you see https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install ?

Ready-compiled sharp and libvips binaries are provided for use on the most common platforms:

• Linux ARM64 (glibc >= 2.29, musl >= 1.1.24)

The following platforms require compilation of both libvips and sharp from source:

• Linux ARM64 (glibc <= 2.28)

You'll need to use Debian Buster or later to take advantage of the prebuilt binaries.

Please see #2837 and lovell/sharp-libvips#114

I am currently facing this issue as well. I have no idea what to do next.

[lovell]

The Debian Buster based images should work e.g. FROM node:16-buster

[ODINSLAYER09]

I've been facing the issue as well. Tried the buster-based images but it didn't work. Any idea what else to check?

[lovell]

I meant Debian Bullseye, not Buster, sorry. You could also try Alpine Linux. Eventually this will be solved via lovell/sharp-libvips#114

[ODINSLAYER09]

That seems to work now. Any idea what the problem is? Or when or how to overcome this with the base image of Node? Looking forward to your reply.

[sanzhardanybayev]

I confirm that choosing bullseye variant does help. In my case it was node:lts-bullseye.
Thanks all for the tips. Much appreciated!

[lovell]

The future sharp v0.30.0 will provide binaries that work with older Linux OS on ARM64 - see #2938

I had this problem on Apple M1 Pro. Fixed by changing the version of debian:

FROM node:14.18.2-bullseye-slim

I had this problem on Apple M1 Pro. Fixed by changing the version of devian:

FROM node:14.18.2-bullseye-slim

Thank you!!! This worked for me. I went to bed really upset last night. Not tonight :)

[rlvk-vk]

Changing from FROM node:16 to FROM node:16-bullseye as the first line in Dockerfile did the trick for me

[quochungphp]

Thanks FROM node:14.18.2-bullseye-slim worked on me

[simplenotezy]

@quochungphp Can you share your Dockerfile for reference? I am having some issues getting it up and running.
