We actually experienced the same problem when trying to build and run a Docker container of our node realm app.

The error ended up being that our container was built on node:gallium-alpine, and the alpine image either didn’t contain the required library or couldn’t find it. We tried also tried to use node:gallium, and that found the library, but gave a different error, namely:

Error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by /app/node_modules/realm/build/Release/realm.node)

}

Basically, the version of glibc that node:16 ships wasn’t up-to-date enough.

The solution to all this ended up being to move to building our docker images using node 18. The alpine images still lacked the requisite lib, but using FROM node:18-slim solved our problem. 😄

@Firanus , Thank you for the solution. I had the same problem (with node:16.14). Confirm that the fix works (move to 18-slim). Weird, since the 16.14 image is supposed to include the needed dependency.
