Same problem with node:13.12.0-stretch-slim
Step 4/11 : RUN npm install
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
ERROR: Service 'frontend_builder' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c npm install' returned a non-zero code: 132

Hi,

Some suggestions:

• You can switch to more verbose mode to see what's going on: npm install -ddd
• Also please make sure you don't accidentally copy node_modules or some other binaries from your host to image with COPY . . command.
• Try clean build to ensure your cached layers don't affect.
• Increase the stack size (sass/node-sass#2031 (comment))

Clean build with node:13.12.0-stretch-slim works fine on my package.json.

@salykin I will try to build the container one more time using npm install -ddd
I am sure I have not copied the node_modules, because I copy the source code and than I enter in container and if I make there npm install I get the same error
I have run docker system prune and made sure that everything has gone , including any network or volume.
I will try and let you know if the solution for the stack size will fix.
Again I am facing this error only when building with a specific alpine version.
Look my first comment. Only a specific version of Alpine throw this error.
