npm install failure inside docker container with a binding mount

[sus_mhilgers]

Im trying to run ‘npm install couchbase’ inside a docker container.

When running inside a directory that is a binding mount I get the following error thrown.

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! couchbase@2.6.0 install: prebuild-install || node-gyp rebuild
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the couchbase@2.6.0 install script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2018-10-18T12_04_08_602Z-debug.log

and further up

fs.js:646
return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
^

When running in non binding mount aka native container directory or docker volume everything works as expected.

Using yarn to install the package works just fine when used with binding mounts.

Host OS: Windows 10 Pro 1803
Docker: latest stable / edge
Node/NPM images: node:8, node:10

So because Yarn works pretty fine and as expected, it has to be an issue of NPM, and not about the environment or docker I think.
