epicmorg/nodejs repository overview

⁠epicmorg/nodejs

Official Node.js linux-x64 binaries (plus headers for native addons) on top of epicmorg/debian:trixie⁠, one major version per tag - from the museum 0.12 to the current 26.

⁠What's inside

• Node in NODE_DIR=/usr/local/share/epicmorg/nodejs/<major>, ${NODE_DIR}/bin on PATH. node, npm, npx, corepack and every global npm binary are also symlinked into /usr/local/bin, so scripts that hardcode that path keep working.
• A node user and group (uid/gid 1337) with a home directory exist for running unprivileged.
• The build fails unless node --version matches the expected release.

⁠Tags

Every tag is pushed to docker.io, quay.io and ghcr.io (epicmorg/nodejs:<tag> on each) - same digest everywhere.

⁠Usage

docker run --rm -it epicmorg/nodejs:24 node --version
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/app -w /app epicmorg/nodejs:24 npm ci

FROM epicmorg/nodejs:24
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --omit=dev
COPY . .
USER node
CMD ["node", "server.js"]

⁠Notes

• Most of these majors are end-of-life upstream (see nodejs.org/about/previous-releases⁠); they are kept for legacy builds and get no new Node.js releases.
