installing nodeJs version on a container, using NVM

Question

I have a docker container which has NVM installed by default. when I try to install any version of node, or running command nvm ls-remote it fails to connect to it's server every time.

the message is:

Version '6.11.2' not found - try nvm ls-remote to browse available versions.

this error occurs just in this network I am joining to.

it is my /etc/resolve.conf file content:

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
search SAD.UM.AC.IR

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

result of docker network ls command is:

NETWORK ID          NAME                DRIVER              SCOPE
dc8cffbb2789        bridge              bridge              local               
5efb2b5fb44e        host                host                local               
8c19a2b28c14        none                null                local

It is just a network problem!! Is there any thing to solve this??

Answer 1

Finally after a discussion with @TarunLalwani , I find what is wrong in this case. The problem is that my container does not use my host machine internet, so it has no internet access. I use this command when I run the container:

docker run -it -v somewhere/:/somewhere --net=host -p 8585:8585 --name test docker-image

--net=host added to command.
