Building in a docker container fails because of node-gyp --jobs max

[aiham]

I'm trying to install opencv4nodejs with opencv 4.3.0 in a docker container. I think it's failing because it's trying to run node-gyp using multiple cores which is not working inside the container for some reason. I fixed the issue by changing the --jobs max argument for node-gyp to --jobs 1 on this line:

https://github.com/justadudewhohacks/opencv4nodejs/blob/master/install/install.js#L80

This is the Dockerfile for the container:

FROM node:14-bullseye

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y build-essential && \
    apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends cmake && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

ENV OPENCV4NODEJS_AUTOBUILD_FLAGS="-DBUILD_LIST=core,imgproc,imgcodecs,videoio,highgui,video,calib3d,features2d,objdetect,dnn,ml,flann,photo,stitching,xfeatures2d"
ENV OPENCV4NODEJS_AUTOBUILD_OPENCV_VERSION="4.3.0"

# Enable verbose mode for node-gyp

ENV V=1

WORKDIR /app
ADD package.json package-lock.json /app/

RUN npm install

Error Message

There's no clear error message, it compiles a few files then after Release/obj.target/opencv4nodejs/cc/core/HistAxes.o it gets stuck then terminates:
