Hi team, thanks for this software, I am trying to build from Source, but drop on error and start

image

I used reverse enginnering from the dockerfile to build

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. grab Nodejs16

mkdir -p /opt/Audiobookshelf
cd /opt/Audiobookshelf

curl -L https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v16.x/node-v16.20.1-linux-x64.tar.gz | tar zxvf - --strip-components 1

export PATH=/opt/Audiobookshelf/bin:$PATH

  1. build dep software

#build nuxt
/opt/Audiobookshelf/bin/npm install -g nuxt --prefix /opt/Audiobookshelf/
#build tone
/opt/Audiobookshelf/bin/npm install -g tone --prefix /opt/Audiobookshelf/

  1. grap from github

git clone --recursive https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf
cd audiobookshelf

  1. start compilation

cd client

/opt/Audiobookshelf/bin/npm ci && /opt/Audiobookshelf/bin/npm cache clean --force
/opt/Audiobookshelf/bin/npm run generate

cd ..

export NODE_ENV=production

../bin/npm ci --only=production

all compile fine...

but start node index.js fall on Error: Cannot find module './dev'

What I am missing ?

Audiobookshelf version

export NODE_ENV=production this line isn't actually setting the NODE_ENV before you are doing node index.js

node index.js is going to first check if NODE_ENV is to production, if it is not set to production it will expect to find a file called dev.js used for development.

Double check how you can set env variables for your OS and set it right before calling node index.js
