Why is there no official docker image?

[Aragur]

So I have found this repository: https://github.com/pnpm/docker-pnpm
But the Docker Hub link is dead.
I'm currently trying to figure out how to use pnpm in my drone pipeline.
I'm using the standard node:lts-alpine image.
This script runs successfully npm i -g npm but after that i cannot run any pnpm command (/bin/sh: pnpm: not found).
What's the best practice working with pnpm on a ci? Currently I'm using npm but that doesn't feel right, or is this the way to go?

In my experience, it's fine to install pnpm with npm in CI, or use the curl option. Looks like all of the CI recipes use the curl option https://pnpm.io/continuous-integration

Yes I saw that.
But on the official node image there is no curl available.

Oh that's interesting. I have had success with the corepack option in CI, but it's only available on node v16.13+

[Aragur]

Thanks a lot. Never heard of corepack before 🤯
Using corepack [email protected] install works like a charm.

You can also try npm install -g pnpm@<version>.

As corepack will be removed from node soon, do we have new options here?
