Hi,

my builds started failing a few hours ago with:

```
Step 1 : FROM node:8.1.2
8.1.2: Pulling from library/node
...
Status: Downloaded newer image for node:8.1.2
 ---> b2269df5e957
Step 2 : RUN mkdir /opt/app
 ---> Running in 40883610f7ff
The command '/bin/sh -c mkdir /opt/app' returned a non-zero code: 255

```

Please help me find a way to fix that.
