NPM, React and Docker : npm ERR! request to https://registry.npmjs.org/react failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN registry.npmjs.org

Hi All,

I am running Docker Toolbox on windows 10 home.

Following were the steps(In Docker console -> Docker Quick Start and using bash from git installation):

npm install -g create-react-app create-react-app frontend cd frontend npm run test npm run build 6.npm run start code . Created docker file(Dockerfile.dev): FROM node:alpine

WORKDIR '/app'

COPY package.json .

RUN npm install

COPY . .

CMD ["npm", "run", "start"] $ docker build -f Dockerfile.dev .

Output in console:

Sending build context to Docker daemon 146.5MB Step 1/6 : FROM node:alpine ---> ef7d474eab14 Step 2/6 : WORKDIR '/app' ---> Using cache ---> c47b0eb2c3c1 Step 3/6 : COPY package.json . ---> Using cache ---> e5c66b740c8b Step 4/6 : RUN npm install ---> Running in 962746bea142 npm ERR! code EAI_AGAIN npm ERR! errno EAI_AGAIN npm ERR! request to https://registry.npmjs.org/react failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN registry.npmjs.org

Please help, Thanks

Hi @karanvij-ai It looks like there are DNS problems in your environment, check local network settings and if you can reach the URL from another container. As you have Docker Toolbox you are building Linux containers. This GitHub repository is only for Windows Dockerfiles. You may find a solution in another place on GitHub.

Thanks Stefan.

But strange, I ran the build command second time, it installed the npm on container. So as of now it is working for me.
