I have some existing projects to contribute to that use NodeJS and

I have never really used Docker. I have never really used NodeJS/npm/etc.
I do know Javascript, but I don't build projects like this - it reminds
me of Ruby-on-Rails, which I found to be a huge snarl of complexity.
I know that the initial development was done on Macs, but in theory at
least, I should be able to set up the Docker container and use that to
get me into an equivalent development environment, but I don't really
know how.
Does anyone have a Debian-flavoured tutorial for setting up
Docker/NodeJS so that I can build and run someone else's code?
A colleague of mine at DigitalOcean wrote this tutorial (as part of a
larger series on running containerized Node applications on Kubernetes):
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-build-a-node-js-application-with-docker
While it is Ubuntu 18.04 focused, the principles are the same.
To get Node & Docker working on Debian, these ought to help:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-debian-10
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-on-debian-10
Feel free to ask any follow ups here if you follow along with those, or
email me directly if you run into any issues.
Cheers, Jamon
