Problem

We have a toolchain that we develop internally and have need for NodeJS libraries compiled for Windows.

Solution

I hate to be "that (weird) guy," but it would be really nice if there were NodeJS images for Windows

Alternatives to Consider

Currently, we're using nvm-windows to manage NodeJS installations on our Windows build servers, but this can be cumbersome, as we can only run one CI job per machine at a time. to ensure that jobs don't need conflicting versions of NodeJS.

   #720 has been around for some time, but I don't know it will ever get finished

   #2136 looks promising..
   However I would suggest using nanoserver instead of servercore as it's much lighter..
   I'm building my own image using the following code in my dockerfile:

   FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2022 AS base
   
   RUN curl.exe -o node.zip https://nodejs.org/dist/v20.17.0/node-v20.17.0-win-x64.zip && \
     mkdir "C:\\nodejs" && \
     tar.exe -xf node.zip -C "C:\\nodejs" --strip-components=1
   
   ARG NODE_PATH="C:\nodejs"
   ENV PATH "${NODE_PATH};C:\Windows\System32"
   RUN npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
