Issues Faced

1. A great deal of time was spent on this error. The issue was occuring due to the package bcrypt since it requires peer dependencies which are not installed in alpine by default. Solution was to change from bcrypt to bcryptjs which had no dependencies whatsoever.
2. Mounted file changes was not causing a restart in nodemon. This seems to be an issue with chokidar in networked environments such as containers. To fix this, use --legacy-watch flag when running nodemon: nodemon -L server.js
