docker build command fails

[srak2016]

In Ubuntu 18.04, docker build command failed due to npm compatibility issue. Same error occurs with Ubuntu 22.04 as well, kindly let me know the fix.

I issue the following commands.

TESTWARE=iot_testware git clone https://github.com/eclipse/iottestware.dashboard cd iottestware.dashboard sudo docker build -t $TESTWARE .

The error I get is,

ERROR: npm v9.3.0 is known not to run on Node.js v8.17.0. You'll need to upgrade to a newer Node.js version in order to use this version of npm. This version of npm supports the following node versions: ^14.17.0 || ^16.13.0 || >=18.0.0. You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/.

Thanks for any help!

Hi @srak2016 I'm glad you found the solution. I have merged the PR provided in #22 and would be very grateful if you could recheck the fix from @seriousme directly from master.

@alexanderkaiser I verified the build again, now it is successful without making any corrections.
