      @wishmaster270 Okay, thanks for the explanation! I haven’t been able to read that anywhere in such clear words and I haven’t dealt with the past problems. Then I withdraw my recommendation because I lack the overview.

          So the right way is to install electron-rebuild in the same project as electron and call it from there.

          installing module stuff in the node_modules folder of mm is a hack and will not work out of the box with a docker setup because this folder is only in the container (you have to map it on the host to get changes there persistent)

          It might be worth to think about adding it as a dependency in the main project.

          in this case may the best solution

            @karsten13 yes, that’s what I think we come to but doesn’t help any existing broken modules

              @karsten13 docker is a pita with this stuff. too much/not enough in the container. which is supposed to be immutable.

                @sdetweil As a soft step, the broken modules could switch to @electron/rebuild. This should also work for docker.

                  I have a docker installation running for development here on my notebook.
                  Everytime a module needs “npm install” I exec to the container and run the command in the container cause there will be called the correct npm and node version in the container and not the ones I currently use on my notebook.
                  In this case the directory structure is the same as with a locally installed MagicMirror and the postinstall script will work as excepted.

                    yes, will work, but all the changes in the node_modules folder of mm are gone with the next restart of the container …

                      In case of electron-rebuild this is no problem as it is only required during compile but not at runtime.

                        o.k., but where are the compile results stored?
