Hi all!
The first step in Start container sets up incorrect values in /etc/hosts:
Applying container tweaks
$ rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/{google.list,google-chrome.list,typesafe-apt.list}; if [ -e /home/ubuntu/.config ]; then chown -R ubuntu /home/ubuntu/.config; fi; echo '151.101.36.162 http://registry.npmjs.com' >> /etc/hosts; echo '151.101.36.162 http://registry.npmjs.org' >> /etc/hosts; echo 'export PATH=/opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin:$PATH' >> /home/ubuntu/.circlerc
The values added to /etc/hosts will be:
151.101.36.162 http://registry.npmjs.com
151.101.36.162 http://registry.npmjs.org
This is incorrect: /etc/hosts maps domain names to IPs, not URLs to IPs. Syntactically correct values would be:
151.101.36.162 registry.npmjs.com
151.101.36.162 registry.npmjs.org
I reported this error previously on Twitter, which I’m sure isn’t the appropriate venue for it: https://twitter.com/FelicianoTech/status/857690496554209280.
Hope that helps someone!
