There are lots of similar issues but not one stated clearly how this problem can be fixed.

In run bower install --allow-root when building a Docker image and every time I get errors like this one: bower morris.js#^0.5.1 EAI_AGAIN Request to https://registry.bower.io/packages/morrisjs failed: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN registry.bower.io:443

The bower package raising error can be any. Some people say that the problem relates the number of libuv threads but tweaking UA_THREADPOOL_SIZE environment variable did not help.

With few packages to install there are no issues, in my case I have about 20 packages to install and the error appears somewhere in the middle of the process.

As for now I have to use this "solution":

RUN bower install --allow-root; exit 0 # Workaround for the bower install getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN error
RUN bower install --allow-root
