[BUG] permissions uid problem in docker

[lubomirblazekcz]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

FROM ubuntu:22.04

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
ENV PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD true

RUN apt-get update -y
RUN apt-get upgrade -y
RUN apt-get install apt-utils -y
RUN apt-get install curl -y

RUN curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | bash -
RUN apt-get install -y nodejs

RUN npm i npm -g && npm i lighthouse -g

When installing lighthouse in docker (perhaps also generally on linux), same files and folders have problematic uid.
Eg. lighthouse/node_modules/cssstyle has 829141562 and this cause us that docker wasn't able to pull the docker image on our remote server.

WARNING: Failed to pull image with policy "always": failed to register layer: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): Container ID 829141562 cannot be mapped to a host ID (manager.go:240:36s)

Which led me to https://circleci.com/docs/high-uid-error/, but changing the uid via chown in docker didn't solve the issue.

After some digging I've found out that it was caused by npm@9, the issue was not happening in npm@8, perhaps because of changes in #5703

Expected Behavior

I've resolved this by installing lighthouse with npm@8 for now.

The changes in #5703 seems like a good aproach, and this is just an edge case issue, so maybe close it. Just wanted to raise awareness about this to anyone experiencing similar problems.

Are you sure chown didn't work? Maybe you used chown incorrectly?

What is the uid/gid you get when installing with npm 8?

[lubomirblazekcz]

I used following in the Dockerfile, after that I could find the uid anymore in the image, but docker pull still failed

RUN chown --from=829141562:root -R root:root /usr/lib/node_modules/lighthouse/node_modules/cssstyle

this should be resolved in npm@9 as we no longer attempt to modify file ownership automatically. please feel free to reopen this issue if you're still experiencing this problem with the latest npm@9 build, ideally with reproduction steps.
