Problem

I try to run a Meteor server application in a Docker image. Running the main file to start the server results in an error, see details below: Could not locate the bindings file. (My system: Macbook Pro, OSX 10.11.4)

Question

Has anybody an idea how to solve this error?

Unsuccessful attempts to solve the problem

Running npm rebuild as proposed here didn't work
Proposal by Nick Bull: Running npm install --unsafe-perm node-gyp and npm install --unsafe-perm libxmljs didn't work. Both executed in the docker container in /home/build/bundle/programs/server. (The --unsafe-perm flag is needed due to root rights in docker image)

Details

The Dockerfile (inspired by meteorhacks/meteord)

回答1:

According to many online sources, it's a bug in node-gyp. Try this:

npm install node-gyp
npm install libxmljs

and see what happens.

回答2:

Okay I found the bug: The problem was the definition of the envrionment varibale buildir in the Dockerfile: ENV builddir /home/build The build process for bcrypt seems to use the same variable, and builds the files bcrypt_lib.node and obj.target in that directory. So they were missing in the right place.

回答3:

If you're in censored country like Kazakhstan then running meteor through vpn the first time will help, since it fails at downloading gyp plugins. There should be a line somewhere about download failing, not when you run meteor start specifically.
