dockerfiles-windows: npm install error - getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN registry.npmjs.org:443

This known issue for Docker and is discussed in detail here: https://development.robinwinslow.uk/2016/06/23/fix-docker-networking-dns/

Simple fix is to create the file /etc/docker/daemon.json

and insert:

{
    "dns": ["10.0.0.2", "8.8.8.8"]
}

where 10.0.0.2 is the first DNS server your machine requests records from, and 8.8.8.8 is the fallback DNS server, google in this case.

I couldn’t resolve issue with adding DNS setting to docker daemon, but I found another solution (maybe this will be useful for someone) - just use host network to resolve dns names by adding --network host setting, ex.: docker build . --network host -t mytag ...

I got a server network issue, and a client restart to let me ssh, and the problem happened. I’ll show my steps to slove this issue, hope it help someone 😄

1. Follow the dns modification step above.
2. sudo service docker restart or sudo systemctl restart docker to restart docker.
3. sloved (maybe).

Restarting system resolved my issue.

Yes! It worked! Thank you!

/etc/docker/daemon.json do not work for me. I have to reboot my ubuntu server to resolve my problem.

hey guys,

i run Docker 24.0.7 on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. i tried installing express module on a Node.js container (docker run -v $PWD:/app -w /app node npm install express) but it failed with the same errors.

weird but… a restart solved my problem too!!!

could be related to any port mapping i run before that with Nginx container (docker run -p 8080:80 -v $PWD:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx) i saw it created a FW rule on my Ubuntu

This solved my issue on Fedora 32.

@karanvij-ai Seeing the same issue, were you able to find a fix?

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):

1. npm install -g create-react-app
2. create-react-app frontend
3. cd frontend
4. npm run test
5. npm run build 6.npm run start
6. 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:

Also, I couldn’t find the complete log, not sure where is location.

Please help, Thanks
