Bug Description

When building the Hoppscotch backend Docker image using Alpine as the base, the build fails with the error /bin/sh: npm: not found.
This is because the Alpine nodejs package does not include npm by default, but the Dockerfile expects npm to be available for global installs.

Steps to Reproduce:
Clone the Hoppscotch repository.
Run docker build -t hoppscotch-backend -f prod.Dockerfile
Observe the build failure at the step running npm install -g ....

Deployment Type

Self-hosted (on-prem deployment)

Version

2025.8.1
