I came across this same problem today, and struggled to find an explanation/solution. I discovered (through trial and error) that this only occurs when the CMD in the Dockerfile is set to:

CMD [ "node", "server.js" ]

However, Ctrl+C works fine when the CMD is changed to:

CMD [ "npm", "start" ]

The npm start script in my package.json file is set to node server.js, so I have no idea why this change works, but hopefully this helps.
