Summary

I’ve created a Turbo Monorepo using npm and then added Docker following the provided example. However, when building the project, I receive the warning message:
WARNING No locally installed turbo found. Using version: 2.2.3.

Here is the complete log and Dockerfile for reference:

The warning is to inform you when the version of turbo meant for your repository hasn't been installed yet by your package manager. This is important to know in cases where a mismatch in global vs. local versions could cause errors. For instance, if you install a different major version.

In this case, turbo prune is being ran from the global scope (--global), so it's not coming from the node_modules of your repository, so the warning is trying to tell you ahead of time of the possibility of a problematic mismatch in the future.

If you'd prefer to suppress the warning, you can use the TURBO_GLOBAL_WARNING_DISABLED System Environment Variable can suppress the warning if you want to accept the risks and silence the warning. That would mean updating the code to RUN TURBO_GLOBAL_WARNING_DISABLED=true turbo prune --scope="web" --docker.

Note: I just went and looked around package manager documentation and it doesn't appear npm or pnpm have a way to install one specific dependency, which really is what you would need here.
