Looking for assistance with a persistent npm error while attempting to bundle my Meteor app using docker-compose. Despite all files being clearly visible in the app directory, including package.json, I am encountering many errors during the final build step called by my Dockerfile within the docker-compose.yml file.
Below is the content of my Dockerfile along with the encountered errors:
FROM ubuntu:trusty
# Install NodeJS from Node-Source repo (node 0.10.48).
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | bash -
RUN apt-get install -y nodejs
# Add your app on /Home and install NPM modules. And clean the cache.
RUN mkdir /home/app
COPY app.tar.gz /tmp/app.tar.gz
RUN tar -zxf /tmp/app.tar.gz -C /home/app
RUN apt-get install -y python
RUN cd /home/app/bundle/programs/server
RUN apt-get update
RUN npm install
#RUN apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
RUN rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
# Expose port 80, but remember to use PORT=80
EXPOSE 80
# Run the app
