iojs -> N/A (default)
node -> stable (-> N/A) (default)
unstable -> N/A (default)How did you install nvm?
Using the script from the readme.
What steps did you perform?
I ran an install with an alternate mirror:
NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=<my internal server> nvm install v24.3.0
What happened?
I got a 404, because nvm is trying to download the x64 version instead of the correct arm64:
Downloading and installing node v24.3.0...
Downloading <my internal server>/v24.3.0/node-v24.3.0-linux-x64-musl.tar.gz...
##O=-# # curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
Nvm then continues to download the source and tries to build it, but ultimately fails with a segmentation fault.
What did you expect to happen?
I had exprected nvm to download and install the arm64 version
Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?
No
Other
I've checked the sources and it appears that for alpine, the architecture ist always set to 'x64-musl':
