Npm install failed with command in Dockerfile, but works with drone pipeline command

Hi all,
I’ve just built a new drone server on Kubernetes, and is trying to build a docker image of a node application through drone pipeline.

I’ve written the build commands in Dockerfile, which works fine on my local device, as following:

FROM node:10.16.3

ADD . /app
WORKDIR /app

RUN npm install
RUN npm run build // build the vue.js static files.

RUN ls -al .
CMD [“node”, “server.js”]

With the following .drone.yml:

kind: pipeline
type: docker

steps:
- name: Publish

 image: plugins/docker
 settings:
   repo: my_repo
   tags: ${DRONE_COMMIT_BRANCH}.${DRONE_COMMIT:7}
   username:
     from_secret: docker_username
   password:
     from_secret: docker_password

trigger:
branch:
- master
event:
- push

However, I get the following error during npm install step:

Step 4/11 : RUN npm install
124 —> Running in cb884caee071
125 npm ERR! code EAI_AGAIN
126 npm ERR! errno EAI_AGAIN

132 time=“2019-09-09T09:23:27Z” level=fatal msg=“exit status 1”

But if I move the build commands to .drone.yml, with the same node image, npm install works fine. As the following:

kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: project

steps:
- name: Install node modules

image: node:10.16.3
commands:
- npm install

- name: Build static web

image: node:10.16.3
commands:
  - npm run build

- name: Publish

image: plugins/docker
settings:
  repo: my_repo
  tags: ${DRONE_COMMIT_BRANCH}.${DRONE_COMMIT:7}
  username:
    from_secret: docker_username
  password:
    from_secret: docker_password

trigger:
branch:

  • master
    event:
  • push

Here’s my drone configurations:

image: drone/drone:1.3.1
ports:
- 80:80
environments:
- DRONE_GITLAB_CLIENT_ID: my_client_id
- DRONE_GITLAB_CLIENT_SECRET: my_secret,
- DRONE_GITLAB_SERVER: my_gitlab_domain,
- DRONE_SERVER_HOST: my_drone_host,
- DRONE_SERVER_PROTO: “https”
volumes:
- /data:/data
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

Why “npm install” works with drone pipeline command, but doesn’t work with command in Dockerfile on the exact same drone server, while they are using the same tag of image.

I am having the same issue on drone version 0.8 with the latest plugins/docker version.

npm install succeeds in the pipeline but fails in my docker-compose file.
This was working correctly until some time last week with no configuration changes on my end.

Any help would be much appreciated.
