Error occurs on first run if NPM is not allready installed

[Marc-Gee]

Trying docker for windows for my 1st time!
Windows 11 and VS code both current versions.

Running the docker build -t welcome-to-docker . command returns an error " ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c npm install....."
This error persisted because my WSL2 machine , or my host machine, (I am not sure which ) did not have NPM installed already.
ie trying

This was solved via running 'sudo apt install npm' in the WSL2 Ubuntu VM, and then running the welcome to docker build script again.
The container then built successfully.

Same issue when run cmd in powershell.
Following docker desktop leanning center instruction , error occur when build step:

I faced the same issue under Windows. Using the same tutorial. Solution: Start cmd as administrator and it would work. If Linux, then Terminal requires sudo docker build -t welcome-to-docker . and the password for the user.

[Vacman]

Yeah - I still can't get it running as well...

docker build -t welcome-to-docker .

Stage 1: Build the React application

FROM node:8.15.1-alpine as build-stage

Set the working directory in the container

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

Copy package.json and package-lock.json

COPY package*.json ./

Install dependencies

RUN npm --verbose install

Copy the rest of the application code

COPY . .

Build the React application

RUN npm run build
RUN npm install --force

Stage 2: Serve the React application using a lightweight web server

FROM nginx:alpine

Copy the build artifacts from the build stage

#COPY --from=build /app/build /usr/share/nginx/index.html

Expose port 80 to access the application

EXPOSE 80

Start Nginx

CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

Why did you use COPY twice instead of using COPY . . for the first time?

I tried to use COPY . . ，but got an error。

This is my Dockerfile.

FROM node:18-alpine3.14 as build-stage

WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN npm config set registry https://registry.npmmirror.com/
RUN npm install
RUN npm run build

When I use COPY . . , won't the package.json file be copied over?
