Docker node app failing

Docker Desktop
1

Expected behavior

Node app that runs on Windows already, but uses remote DB for development. Expected to set up docker environment with node app running and linking to a local database instance. App uses nodemon to restart often during development.

Actual behavior

App fails to install because of binary modules, ELF headers are wrong because it uses windows version. So remove node_modules and reinstall. Then fails due to trying to create symlinks, so pass -no-bin-links to npm but this causes max call stack error (as per https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10776)

Implement loop that handles this in shell script, but then app fails due to BCrypt bindings not being found:

Steps to reproduce the behavior

See above config files, create app that include a binary module like BCrypt that requires bindings to be used.
