NodeJs Container Build in Xmcloud Foundation head

Question

Trying to work through the xmCloud Foundation head - https://github.com/sitecorelabs/xmcloud-foundation-head-staging#deploy-to-xmcloud and install locally using Docker. But getting this error on container build.

Step 6/12 : RUN curl.exe -sS -L -o node.zip https://nodejs.org/dist/v%NODEJS_VERSION%/node-v%NODEJS_VERSION%-win-x64.zip
 ---> Running in 76a734f4d2f7

ERROR: Service 'nodejs' failed to build : Build failed
D:\PlayArea\xmCloud\xmcloud-foundation-head-staging\up.ps1 : Container build failed, see errors above

Do I need to disable anything specific? I have checked for instances where C:\ is present and changed it to lowercase

Answer 1

This issue is due to firewall settings and network policy settings on your development machine. Couple of things to try:

• Ensure that the Use Docker Compose V2 option is not checked and Use the WSL 2 based engine is checked in Docker Desktop.
• Bypass some common network issues by setting DNS servers in the Docker engine configuration and switching the buildkit to false

{
  "dns": [
    "8.8.8.8"
  ],
  "experimental": false,
  "features": {
   "buildkit":false
 }
}

• DNS Flush on your development machine: In the command prompt window, type ipconfig /flushdns You should see a message confirming that the DNS Resolver Cache was successfully flushed.

• If none of the above options works, install nodejs manually as explained here. Run the set up again.

Answer 2

so after executing multiple commands I was able to fix this issue by executing the command ipconfig/flushdns
