Keypair fromSecret causes Segmentation Fault in node alpine

[bitgoAaron]

Describe the bug Trying to use stellar-sdk's Keypair fromSecret function does not work in alpine flavors of linux.

What version are you on?

• [email protected]

To Reproduce

• npm init -y && npm i stellar-sdk@latest
• edit package.json :

   "scripts": {
      "test": "node index.js"
    }

• Create an index.js file:

const stellar = require('stellar-sdk');
const prv = 'SA22TDBINLZMGYUDVXGUP2JMYIQ3DTJE53PNQUVCDK73XRS6TDVYU7WW';
console.log(stellar.Keypair.fromSecret(prv));

• docker run -it -v $(pwd):/srv -w /srv node:16-alpine npm run test

Error Output:

npm ERR! path /srv
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! signal SIGSEGV
npm ERR! command sh -c -- node index.js

Expected behavior

• Should work without throwing a SIGSEGV (segmentation fault) when creating a KeyPair

Additional context

• node16 and node18 (non-alpine) work fine.

@bitgoAaron I was running into the same issues and managed to get it working on node 16 slim. I also installed build-essential using apt-get. The final image size didn't end up being that much larger.

Spent 3 days trying to understand why my project worked locally but when i deploy to kubernetes cluster it doesn't even start.

Thanks @corymsmith

I’m glad you managed to get it sorted because I spent a ton of time starting out what was going on.

Thanks for bringing this thread out from the depths, guys, and documenting the solution @corymsmith :pray:

I imagine this is because sodium-native fails to compile, which you can (probably) work around by not installing optional dependencies (npm i --omit optional stellar-sdk).
