Cannot build Docker with npm install -g

[alexei-led]

It's not possible to build the following valid Dockerfile with Codefresh.

FROM node:9-alpine
RUN npm install -g serverless

It's possible to build it locally with any Docker engine, including codefresh/dind:17.12-v12 (our DinD)

very strange issue indeed

docker build for node:8/9/10-alpine based Dockerfile with npm install -g <any_module> fails with any Docker (or dind) engine running on Amazon M5 instances.

see related:
npm/npm#20861

I ran into the same issue after we upgraded to an m5 instance,
found a solution at npm/uid-number#3 (comment)

so I added
RUN npm config set unsafe-perm true to my Dockerfile before the npm install and everything works again

Closing as stale.
