Question

Hello sir i am new to docker, i am using ubuntu budgie(linux) 20.04 my docker version is Docker version 18.09.9, build 1752eb3 i have install docker using snap pac

Answer 1

This error originates from the fact, that your current user does not have enough permission to access the npm cli file.

Did you try the minimal Dockerfile:

FROM node:lts

WORKDIR /home/node
COPY . .
RUN npm install

CMD ['npm', 'start']

Does it work for you? If so, the problem in your Dockerfile, I assume in user node or you have some other script we don't see in OP.
