npm install in docker socket timeout

laradock/laradock#2843 (comment)
should i report this problem at here?
it happend when I use node:lts-alpine

here is my dockerfile

# build stage
FROM node:lts-alpine as build-stage
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY ./ .
RUN npm run lint
RUN npm run dockerbuild
......

and it will cause

I can consistently reproduce this - I've found that if you only have a few deps then it seems fine, but larger lists of dependencies produce the ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT error. If I use node:14-alpine rather than node:16-alpine then I don't receive the error and the npm install (and container build) succeeds, consistently (I've wiped my images between each build to make sure).

💡 Here's a repo to allow reproducing this: https://github.com/itsravenous/docker-node-repro 💡

I'm sure it could be specific to the network conditions on my machine, or something to do with my Docker setup, but it seems weird that switching to 14 would consistently avoid the issue in that case.

Be interesting to see if others can reproduce using my test case repo - @bbkysf and @x900603 could you confirm?

In the meantime, I'll try removing deps from that repo's package.json to see if there's any particular packages that are causing trouble, or any rough "size" of the dependency list that makes a difference. Not very scientific, I know, but not sure how else to proceed - all a bit over my head I'm afraid :)

Node 14 and Node 16 ship with different versions of NPM, so the difference is likely there.

Good point. I should clarify that this problem doesn’t occur with node 16 outside of docker.

My project have many dependencies, and it pahhend scoket time out usually.

My dependencies is up to npm install need spend 3~5 miuntes

  }

Thinking about it - and this is a guess - but it would make sense to me that it is one, larger dependency that would be the cause, if anything. I don't think npm install has a timeout for the total install time, just per request for each dep.

I have got same error on mcr.microsoft.com/windows:20H2 image and npm installed by choco install nodejs --version=16.14.2

I also met this issue, and ... if I switch to a stable network and disconnect all VPN, I will success to build

Same thing. Works well with node:alpine but fails with node:16-alpine

EDIT: I am not 100% confident that this is related to :16-alpine specifically, maybe it is more sensitive to bad network, but the network I am currently on is not as reliable as the one I am usually using.

I have changed the node image version to node:16.15.0-alpine3.15@sha256:bb776153f81d6e931211e3cadd7eef92c811e7086993b685d1f40242d486b9bb, it works well. ✅

@nlf

For me, using --maxsockets 1 (as @nlf suggested) worked the issue around. It is too slow though, but it works.

It always worked on my local computer, however it always failed on remote server (I used a VPN to connect to it).

I wanted to build an image from Dockerfile based on alpine:3.16.2 on which I install nodejs-current@18.6.0-r0 and npm@8.10.0-r0. I even tried to update it using npm -g i npm@8.17.0), however it didn’t work.

For now, I use (npm ci --no-audit || npm ci --no-audit --maxsockets 1) as a workaround, albeit when the first command fails, it takes much longer to start the second command, as the first command hangs for about a minute before it fails.

I encountered the same problem today!
And I have found a work around!
Hoping to make some hint!
We just need a little bit more time to find out the truth problem!

With node:16.15.0-alpine simply installing curl seems to work for me.

RUN set -eux; apk add --no-cache curl;

N.B. I have not tested this. It might be a fluke!

Maybe! I just solved the network problem in my local environment setting when using axios. I will try to solve my docker container related problem with the same way. Neville ***@***.***> 于2022年8月29日周一 03:28写道：

Before solving this problem, I have another problem to solve to get better understand of the docker network.

The default network mode of docker compose is bridge, Which cannot access my local proxy 127.0.0.1, how to solve this problem?

Before solving this problem, I have another problem to solve to get better understand of the docker network.

The default network mode of docker compose is bridge, Which cannot access my local proxy 127.0.0.1, how to solve this problem?

The bridge connection docker0 – with IP address 172.17.0.1 – is created by Docker at installation time. Because the host and all containers are connected to that network, our application only needs to listen to it.

All right! The answer is 172.17.0.1.

@aphilas

@aphilas
@ALL
If you are under a local proxy environment like me, then the ghost should be the value of HTTPS_PRXOY in the ~/.docker/config.json

You should change it from 127.0.0.1:xxxx to 172.17.0.1:xxxx

Please give a thumb if my solution helps you.

Using this solved it for me

RUN npm cache clean --force && \
    npm install -g npm@latest && \
    npm install

I fixed this issue by removing ipv6 from /etc/docker/daemon.json.

So if you don't have ipv6 you should remove it or if you have ipv6 check if you see the correct ipv6 address

If you make changes to this file you need to restart the service:
sudo service docker restart

To me, it was solved by npm upgrade and sockets limit:

RUN npm update -g npm
RUN npm ci --no-audit --maxsockets 1

@wraithgar

To me, it was solved by npm upgrade and sockets limit:
RUN npm update -g npm
RUN npm ci --no-audit --maxsockets 1

This solution helped me as well.
Nothing else worked. It seems that npm update message returning code 1 in docker brakes build process.

Below is my error output when using node:lts-alpine

I had the same issue with the node v16.

To me, it was solved by npm upgrade and socket

--maxsockets 1 helped me as well, but it is too slow.

I updated the node up to v20 and everything is ok without --maxsockets 1

Context

Docker Engine in WSL2

First step

Add into the npm install stage the flag --verbose at your Dockerfile

RUN npm install --verbose

This will allow you to see the entire log of the docker build . command when he face the npm install.

Then i checked out that was a error between the packages fetchs. The Node logs from my docker build was:
attempt 1 failed with EAI_AGAIN

So i checked my DNS confs in the WSL2

At my WSL2 terminal:

cat /etc/wsl.conf

I saw a nameserver of my windowsOS and a search field. I delete all of them and added after the bellow command:

sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf

PASTE:

systemd=true
generateResolvConf = false
nameserver 8.8.8.8

This fixed my problem. The resume is, DNS was failing to ping the registry.npmjs.org because was returning the IP:PORT and suppost to return just the DNS.

npm maxsockets 1

Feedback on this issue indicated that the problem could be resolved by updating npm. The versions of Node.js / npm (8.3.1) mentioned initially are no longer supported.

The lowest currently supported Node.js version is 22.22.2 with bundled npm version 10.9.7.
