### 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](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: ```auto web_1 | Error: Could not locate the bindings file.
