Here's the documentation on how to do this: https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/blob/master/docs/BestPractices.md#node-gyp-alpine

@LaurentGoderre Thanks, I might try this as a workaround. However, this doesn't change the fact, that the ARM64 image simply doesn't work

I too am using arm64 based Ubuntu 20.04, and ran into the same issue as @SuNNjek.

I've found its specifically the stretch (and slim variant) containers that are producing this. It works with buster (and slim variant), so that's an easier workaround than using alpine!

I have the same issue on a raspberry pi 4 running ubuntu server 20.04.

Every yarn or npm command in a container immediately returns Aborted (core dumped). Both commands work fine outside docker.

I tried stretch packages from node 10 - 14, all with the same error. Buster package works.

I think my issue is related to this.

node --version works, but trying to execute index.js file does not and results in Aborted (core dumped).

Container image: node:14.4

I solved my problem specifying node and npm version engines on package.json:

"engines": {
    "node": "12.1.0",
    "npm": "6.9.0"
  }
