Hi, one more pulumi question for the day. I'm setting up my build environment. does the TypeScript project use nodejs? Do I setup my build scripts to use node? Is there any documentation surrounding this?

Yes, yes, yes 🙂 https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/languages/javascript/

so if I'm reading this right, I can create a docker image with nodejs with pulumi installed and have that do the pulumi up --yes?

Yes, and fwiw, there are some prepackaged docker images. The repo provides descriptions and links to them in docker hub: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-docker-containers

Yes, I work that way. The only thing I've installed is podman. Everything else is in images 🙂
