There are some hints on how to get a recent version of Node.js installed on Ubuntu, using either an upstream PPA or nvm: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-16-04 > My fedora 26 machine had a sufficiently recent node/npm, so building > there was simpler.

Most of the developers currently working on the Dashboard v2 use a Docker build environment based on this: https://github.com/ricardoasmarques/ceph-dev-docker/ > The frontend build only takes 25 seconds, which I think is pretty > good.

I'll see if I can incorporate some of that into the README/HACKING documents included in that directory.
