Installing packed tgz file results on Error: Cannot find module

Developing Nodes
1

I have created a package with a custom node, the node lives on a nodes folder and I reference it on my package.json as:

  "node-red": {
    "nodes": {
      "configurable-countdown-timer": "nodes/configurable-countdown-timer.js"
    }
  },

when I pack it with npm pack I get this folder structure (that looks correct to me)

But when I upload it to my node-red test or live instances, I get this error:

But if I see inside my data (mapped as a local user-dir folder into docker) I see that it exists:

So I do not understand what is failing here. Any ideas?

 "node-red": {
    "nodes": {
      "configurable-countdown-timer": "nodes/configurable-countdown-timer.js"
    }
  },

Just a very quick observation, but should that be - according to your directory structure

 "node-red": {
    "nodes": {
      "configurable-countdown-timer": "nodes/configurable-countdown-timer/configurable-countdown-timer.js"
    }
  },

the nodes location is relative to the project root folder.
