Describe the Bug

I tried installing v29 but the last output I see is "Running db migration script" in the web logs and the data folder is empty (new install, nothing was there to begin with). I connect to the web image console and try running node, but nothing outputs. I do see Node installed, though, it just doesn't seem to do anything. If I change the Karakeep image to v26 it will create the database as expected (no versions greater than 26 work either)

Here is the console output

/app # which node
/usr/local/bin/node
/app # npm -v
env: can't execute 'node': Exec format error
/app # node -v
/app # 

docker-compose.yml

services:
  web:
    image: ghcr.io/karakeep-app/karakeep:${KARAKEEP_VERSION:-release}
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /mnt/user/appdata/karakeep/data:/data:rw
    ports:
      - 3200:3000
    env_file:
      - .env
    environment:
      MEILI_ADDR: http://meilisearch:7700
      BROWSER_WEB_URL: http://chrome:9222
  chrome:
    image: gcr.io/zenika-hub/alpine-chrome:124
    restart: unless-stopped
    command:
      - --no-sandbox
      - --disable-gpu
      - --disable-dev-shm-usage
      - --remote-debugging-address=0.0.0.0
      - --remote-debugging-port=9222
      - --hide-scrollbars
  meilisearch:
    image: getmeili/meilisearch:v1.13.3
    restart: unless-stopped
    env_file:
      - .env
    environment:
      MEILI_NO_ANALYTICS: "true"
    volumes:
      - /mnt/user/appdata/karakeep_meilisearch:/meili_data

Things to note: I am on Unraid, but I am using docker-compose instead of the native docker app store

Steps to Reproduce

Use the default docker-compose.yml provided in the documentation
Check output and /data folder to see nothing output
Change the version to 0.26.0 and check the .data folder to see a .db file

Expected Behaviour

Should install on the latest version

Screenshots or Additional Context

Device Details
