Inconsistencies - meteor build

[schandrac]

Hi,
I'm using meteorhacks/meteord:onbuild Dockerfile to build and run meteor based app into AWS. I am seeing occasional hangs where after downloading meteor, nothing happens for long time. The only way to exit is ^C. I see three variations during the build process.

1. Build hangs (output below)
2. Builds successfully but skips meteor download and npm install, very quick (output below)
3. Builds successfully but with meteor download and npm install, takes good 5+ mins (output below)

The hang is really concerning as once it that state, there's no way to recover. I tried rebooting the node, re-provisioning docker, removing old docker images etc. Build starts working randomly (not able to discern any patter).

Is anyone seeing this? Can one of the experts provide me pair of eyes to explain this?

I never passed the installation of meteor, it's successfully installed and then nothing happens.

My build always hangs with using FROM meteorhacks/meteord:onbuild in Docker file.

Same here, sometime working, sometime not. Most of the time not.
