Hey 
Describe the problem/error/question
I needed a customized node so I created an app (Typescript) that I run locally with my own nodes and I’ve to npm link n8n to serve that on my localhost and see my nodes.
What is the error message (if any)?
I’m trying to dockerize the app with Dockerfile, but when I try to build the image it says that Cannot find module ‘n8n-workflow’
The error:
