Hi n8n support,
I tried to build docker for n8n and got error below. Searched many places but have no clues. Could you help advise?
I added in Dockerfile.
npm config set strict-ssl false && \
node -v

npm -v
11.3.0
python --version
Python 3.13.2
% docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 --build-arg N8N_VERSION=1.90.0 -t n8n:1.90.0 .
