Docker build failed on npm install, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED 104.16.17.35:443
I'm having a hard problem getting my Docker container up, it shows some weird error in the console:
Dockerfile:
FROM node:14
WORKDIR /usr/src/app/
COPY package.json package.json
COPY server.js server.js
RUN ping -c 4 google.com
RUN npm config set registry
RUN echo "${http_proxy}" && echo "${HTTP_PROXY}"
RUN npm install
# COPY . .
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ['npm', 'start']When I run the docker build command
$ docker build -t myapp .The error I'm getting:
Sending build context to Docker daemon 947.7kB

The command '/bin/sh -c npm install' returned a non-zero code: 1I'm on Ubuntu 20.4 and it is just a simple node app with a server.js file. let me know if you need anything else from me to get it fixed. Thank you in advance for your help!

It could be an error handling the secure connection to registry.npmjs.org
Also, the steps shown in the error output don't match your Dockerfile (eg : missing the output of RUN ping -c 4 google.com), maybe you have edited your files afterward to check if dns resolving is working, and I believe so because the npm install error display the server ip.
To better identify the error, you can add a new step in your Dockerfile (before RUN npm install) :
RUN curl -v Then run your build command again, curl will try to connect to the url and -v flag will output a lot of details, including the tls handshake. It will help understand what is really happening.
Side notes :
- You can add
--no-cacheto the docker build command, it will force docker to execute every command from your Dockerfile (and not only the commands that come after a new/updated command) :docker build --no-cache -t myapp .A fresh build could be sometimes necessary. - You can add
--pullto the docker build command, it will force docker to get the latest version of your base image :docker build --pull -t myapp .Usefull when you know the base has been updated.
