I tried to Set Library Path Manually LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the directory where the libraries are located. For example:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
then I tried running the Node.js binary again, but still fails /var/snap/nextcloud/current/nextcloud/extra-apps/recognize/bin/node --version

I also tried to symlink the node from host in the recognize folder, but it does't work
root@nextcloud:/home/nextcloud# /root/.nvm/versions/node/v20.17.0/bin/node --version
v20.17.0
root@nextcloud:/home/nextcloud

Expected Behavior

Nodejs is working with ubuntu 24.04 and nextcloud snap version Nextcloud Hub 9 (30.0.2)

To Reproduce

Install Recognize in nextcloud snap version Nextcloud Hub 9 (30.0.2) with ubuntu 24.04

Debug log

Node.js
Could not execute the Node.js binary. You may need to set the path to a working binary manually.

If the shipped Node.js binary doesn't work on your system for some reason you can set the path to a custom node.js binary. Currently supported is Node v20.9 and newer v20 releases.

/snap/bin/node

For Nextcloud Snap users, you need to adjust this path to point to the snap's "current" directory as the pre-configured path will change with each update. For example, set it to "/var/snap/nextcloud/current/nextcloud/extra-apps/recognize/bin/node" instead of "/var/snap/nextcloud/9337974/nextcloud/extra-apps/recognize/bin/node"

Start by reproducing the failure with /var/snap/nextcloud/current/nextcloud/extra-apps/recognize/bin/node --version on Ubuntu 24.04 and compare it with /snap/bin/node. Investigate how the shipped Node.js binary is packaged and selected for the Nextcloud snap; done means the Recognize Node.js binary runs on the reported setup without host-library workarounds or manual symlinks.
