[Question]: Multiple different node versions

[ryohei-kamiya]

What is your question?

The versions of Node being used differ in the following three files.

• .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml
• Dockerfile
• Dockerfile.multi

More Details

I think it's generally better to have matching runtime versions, but as listed below, they differ. Is there a specific reason for using different versions?

• .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml
  -> node v19 ( node:19-bullseye )
• Dockerfile
  -> node v18 ( node:18-alpine )
• Dockerfile.multi
  -> node v20 ( node:20-alpine )

What is the main subject of your question?

Screenshots

I have confirmed that in my forked repository, it works in devcontainer with Node v20( node:20-bookworm ).

I needed to reinstall the packages, but since npm run reinstall did not install them as expected, I reinstalled them using the following steps.

/workspaces# rm -rf node_modules/ packages/data-provider/node_modules/ packages/data-provider/dist/ client/dist/ api/node_modules/
/workspaces# cd packages/data-provider/
/workspaces# npm install
/workspaces# npm run build
/workspaces# cd ../../client
/workspaces# npm install
/workspaces# cd ..
/workspaces# npm install
/workspaces# npm run frontend:dev

After executing the above, I opened another virtual terminal and executed the following.

/workspaces# npm run backend:dev

If it seems necessary, I will submit a pull request.

.devcontainer/docker-compose.yml

Needs to be updated to v18 as v19 is at End of life. feel free to submit a PR for this.

Dockerfile.multi

It should be updated to v18 too as there are some issues with v20, but it doesn't affect images built in github actions runtime which is the primary use case for this image, so I would like to leave it as is.

When v20 reaches more maturity (on docker at least), they should all be bumped to that at some point.

[ryohei-kamiya]

Oh, I wasn't aware there were issues with Node v20. Thank you for sharing.
Regarding the Node version in the devcontainer, I understand that it's okay to leave it as v20. Dockerfile.multi was originally v20, but I haven't edited it. I'll go ahead and submit a PR.

[danny-avila]

Actually, sorry if I miscommunicated, the devcontainer should be v18. Dockerfile.multi should stay at v20
