node-red crashes with signal SIGSEGV

[janvda]

I have just created a simple flow

and node-red crashes when I deploy that flow with following in the log file:

maybe the problem is not with this repository but with the dependent module :

• https://github.com/ibmdb/node-ibm_db

[janvda]

The problem is indeed with the dependent module

• https://github.com/ibmdb/node-ibm_db

I couldn't get it working on alpine based docker images.
It seems to work when using a debian based docker image (e.g. node:16-buster-slim)

[janvda]

FYI I have created myself a number of node-red docker images based on debian which you can find at following location:

• https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/janvda/node-red

I am using the following base image in my docker container

• janvda/node-red:3.0.2-19.1.0-bullseye-slim

I also had to add the following lines to my dockerfile to get it working:

# fix missing libxml2 and libc.musl-x86_64.so.1 (see https://github.com/alexander-akhmetov/python-telegram/issues/3)  and
USER root
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y musl-dev libxml2
RUN ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-musl/libc.so /lib/libc.musl-x86_64.so.1
USER node-red
# end of fix
