Why was /usr/local/lib the defaut local packages destination directory in NodeJS docker image ?

FROM node:24-alpine

WORKDIR app/

COPY package.json yarn.lock ./
RUN corepack enable \
    && corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate \
    && yarn install --immutable \
    && yarn cache clean
RUN ls -l node_modules

You get a "File or directory was not Found" error

  • Check it out from container's shell : find / -name node_modules returns /usr/local/lib/node_modules Commented Nov 1 at 11:33
  • I can't reproduce, local modules get installed in /node_modules as expected. /usr/local/lib/node_modules exists and just contains npm. Commented Nov 1 at 11:50
  • what's found in /node_modules ? Commented Nov 1 at 13:54
