I solved the problem by using node 12 LTS instead of the newest node 14 version.

Only reason I tried an older version was that I reinstalled droppy and got deprecation warnings from dependency packages.
Would be nice, if droppy kept track of the latest supported version and gave a more helpful error when the used node version is too recent.
