`npx` command freezes on `node:22` (with Storybook)

[aaronshenhao]

Please refer to storybookjs/storybook#29673 to see the issue being encountered (reproducible link included).

Environment

• Platform: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS on WSL2 (Windows 11, Version 10.0.22631.4460)
• Docker Version: Docker version 24.0.5, build ced0996
• Node.js Version: v22.11.0
• Image Tag: node:22

Expected Behavior

Storybook commands complete successfully like on node:20, or throw an error.

Output from node:20:

node@7fca0d0ad464:/workspace$ npx storybook@latest init

Current Behavior

Need to install the following packages:
storybook@8.4.4

Possible Solution

A workaround is to downgrade to node:20.

Steps to Reproduce

Please refer to the link at the top.

You might have to delete the package.json and package-lock.json file, as storybook@latest is no longer version 8.4.4.

Additional Information

Forwarding all ports does not solve the issue (EXPOSE 0-65535).
