"TypeError: RateLimit is not a constructor" when start the container

Step 1: To build the container
I tried to install kort via Docker. First I met the error mesage after key in docker-compose build to build the container.

 > [5/6] RUN npm install --only=production:
#9 0.341 npm WARN config only Use `--omit=dev` to omit dev dependencies from the install.

------
executor failed running [/bin/sh -c npm install --only=production]: exit code: 1
ERROR: Service 'kort' failed to build : Build failed

I modified the file Dockerfile as following to pass the above error.

# RUN npm install --only=production
RUN npm install --only=production --legacy-peer-deps

Step 2: Start the container

I key in the command docker-compose up to start the containers, I met the following message:

kort     | var limiter = new RateLimit({
kort     |               ^

My environment is

• CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)
• Docker version 20.10.21, build baeda1f

Any idea to resolve the issue? Thanks for your time.

Hello. We unfortunately haven't had the time to keep up on the dependency updates and build system for Kort for a number of years. There were a number of dependencies with updates which had breaking changes. I suspect you've run into one of those. We'd be happy to look at merging pull requests or any changes if you get things working.

Walk-around: I installed the tag v1.0.1 to bypass the dependency issue.

Great to hear!
