Running apt-get install node does not install Node.js, because that's not the package you're asking for.

If you run apt-cache info node you can see that what you are installing is a "Amateur Packet Radio Node program (transitional package)"

You should follow the Node.js install instructions to install via package manager.

Or if you like building from git, you can just do that inside Docker:

RUN apt-get install -y git-core curl build-essential openssl libssl-dev \
 && git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git \
 && cd node \
 && ./configure \
 && make \
 && sudo make install
