Backend failing trying to process https://deno.land/x/sqlite@v3.9.1/build/sqlite.js

[silvioterra]

Describe the bug

Trying to start invio using the steps in the quick start leads to an infinite loop failing to parse/import sqlite.js

Output log (partial):

2026-08-13 00:22:24,125 CRIT Supervisor is running as root.  Privileges were not dropped because no user is specified in the config file.  If you intend to run as root, you can set user=root in the config file to avoid this message.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Docker Desktop for Windows
2. Create a directory for the docker-compose.yaml and .env files as per Quick Start
3. After running docker compose up -d, go to the docker desktop logs
4. Notice endless spam
5. (Invio is not accessible with a 500 error but I don't know if it's related)

Platform you host on
Windows Docker Desktop

Additional context
It worked for a minute, once, and then never again. I don't know what happened.

Every file in the output log is accessible if I go to it via browser. For instance, https://deno.land/x/sqlite@v3.9.1/build/sqlite.js exists.

Note: this also happens when using a split frontend/backend setup.
