If you fail to load the module, it crashes or throws, or behaves strange or breaks down for the simple examples provided, do not report this as a bug to me.
Failing to load is most probably caused by an unofficial Node.js build, not honoring the official ABI versioning of Node.js.
Official builds, running on official platforms (Tier 1), do follow strict ABI rules and will refuse to load mismatching ABIs.
Platforms like Alpine Linux and Node.js builds that are provided by your package manager of your Linux distribution are very likely to disregard official ABI rules of Node.js.
ABI rules are extremely important, it's what makes it possible to run a native program on other machines. Node.js, being a scripting environment, has largely failed to properly enforce an ABI everywhere.
Report start-up crashes to your Linux distribution, do not report them here. It is impossible to ship native code when people do not follow set rules.
If you wish to run on strange platforms and Node.js builds, you'll have to rebuild this project from source, as described in the readme.
Make sure to update to new versions of µWS.js when new major releases of Node.js ship.
Official builds of Node.js can be downloaded here: https://nodejs.org/
