Describe the bug

Because of image: node:alpine in docker-compose.yml, fresh Node.js v13 is used. But there is no node-sass bindings published for Node 13 on Alpine.

Thanks @Grawl for reporting this.

I have just fixed this in master by updating the npm dependencies so the project uses a node-13 compatible version of node-sass. Have tested by bringing up the docker-composer setup and checked it built the SASS files.

I thought about pinning the node image version as per your fix but I think I'll leave it for the mean-time since it was quite useful in this case; Using the latest version indicated that a dependency update was probably needed.
