Error by starting main

You're most likely running an ancient (unsupported) Node version. Minetrack requires v12.4.0+, and the current LTS is recommended. You can check your version with node -v.

sudo might be using a different path (https://superuser.com/questions/709515/command-not-found-when-using-sudo) and thus a different node binary. Minetrack itself doesn't require root privileges (in fact, doing so is insecure). If you want to bind Minetrack on a privileged port, reverse proxy it through Nginx, Apache, etc.

The SQLite dependency cannot find itself, does npm install (no sudo) return successfully? If so, try starting Minetrack again. If this doesn't fix it, I suspect this might be a permissions-related issue. Try cloning Minetrack on your home dir.

NPM audit fix doesn't fix it.

There's some potential fixes on their repo: try TryGhost/node-sqlite3#906 (comment), TryGhost/node-sqlite3#906 (comment), (other) in that order, while checking if the app starts after each solution.
Other than that, this is an SQLite 3 problem and how its node package is bundled. There's not much we can do.

Thanks it works! Next problem...

Thanks for you fast reply. But it doesn't work for me.

You're not supposed to serve Minetrack files directly (you're currently exposing your config files publicly). Move the Minetrack directory to your home dir, and setup the Apache virtual host as a reverse proxy to the Minetrack address (running on another port) as the previously mentioned issue suggests. Your config doesn't look like it, so that's why it isn't working. Minetrack runs its own HTTP and WebSocket server.

Other than that, this isn't an Apache support channel, so I can't provide much help other than that (I personally prefer Nginx over it, but that's off topic).

Is HTTPS needed?

[hugmanrique]

Minetrack doesn't provide HTTPS support, but your Apache/Nginx/Cloudflare proxy can add/require HTTPS support.

I'm stuck for days...
