nextcloud: node.js?

Hi haberda,
Thanks a lot for creating the add-on nextcloud!
I successfully installed it and used it for a while.

I want to use the app 'recognize' (https://github.com/nextcloud/recognize) within nextcloud to categorize/face recognize pictures. However, this app requires Node.js.
I am far from being an expert, but I googled many different ways to install node.js and tried them. But it is not possible.

I am wondering if it is related to the fact that nextcloud is installed via an add-on in HA. Do you know a trick on how to install it, or can you include it in this add-on? Any tip would be highly appreciated.

Best, Sebastian

Hi, maybe this will help:

  • this addon is based on haberda docker-image of nextcloud itself(which by assumption has no node.js installed)
  • You could install node.js in the docker-container by using docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME bash but it will only be temporary

The only long term solution would be to change the docker image of the hassio addon in the config file.

Hope this helps :-)

I am trying to not deviate much from what the upstream container offers so that I can maintain this more easily. I do this as a hobby and don't have a lot of time to troubleshoot if issues arise. If enough people wanted node.js I might consider having it install in the container, but as of now I suggest you go the route of @geigervlad's suggestion.

Thank you for responding.
I am happy to try out the temporary solution. But I am gonna be honest, I am not an expert on this. Would you mind sharing some more details on how I can install node.js in the docker-container?
Do I need to use SSH & Web Terminal and then enter docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME bash?
Where can I find the Container_Name?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!
Best, Sebastian

If you read the add-on documentation about how to add a trusted domain it describes how to enter the container. From there you can install whatever software you want with apt.
