Node projects that require node-gyp fail to build without custom nixpacks config

[flybayer]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

Node projects that require node-gyp fail because python and build-essential are missing.

To reproduce

1. Clone https://github.com/ModupeD/Gatsby-site (this app is a new gatsby app created with gatsby new)
2. Delete nixpacks.toml
3. nixpacks build . --install-cmd 'npm install' --build-cmd 'gastby build' --start-cmd 'echo 0'

Expected behavior

App builds successfully

Environment

nixpacks 1.6.0

Workaround

add nixpacks.toml

[phases.setup]
nixPkgs = ['...','python311']
aptPkgs = ['build-essential']

To solve this, create nixpacks.toml in your repo:

providers = ["node", "python"]

@pranavp10 not sure if you ever solved the issue, it has been one and half months but... So, today I stumbled on the same issue when trying to deploy a bun application in coolify through nixpacks. After some trial and error ended up with that working with the following settings:

• Creating nixpacks.toml and adding providers = ["...", "python"] to install python, which is necessary to node-gyp
• Adding node-gyp as a dependency with bun install node-gyp

For anyone that ends up here with the same issue, try the steps above.
