Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binimum/tidal-ui/issues/103

Describe the bug
Docker compose instructions fail with current Dockerfile

To Reproduce
Follow the README instructions:

Clone the repo
Run docker compose up
Observe the error message:

npm error `npm ci` can only install packages when your package.json and package-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json are in sync. Please update your lock file with `npm install` before continuing.

Expected behavior
The container builds and runs

Environment:

OS: NixOS 25.11
Commit ac6c7fe2cd

Additional context
I don't know much about npm, but following the error message I added RUN npm install one line before RUN npm ci in the Dockerfile and that seemed to do the trick. I'm sure there's probably a better way to fix it.

Yes, npm ci is used in the Dockerfile because it results in less overhead, however because of some vite stuff npm install is sometimes necessary due to arm64/x64 different packages.
