Sorry,I forgot to add the log in the right field...

It's working, this is related to the discussion here: #1287

Docker Compose version v2.21.0

Try upgrading Docker compose, I had problems on an older version

[pardub]

Hi,
I upgraded Docker Compose to version v2.23.3 but the same issue remains.

[pardub]

Also, I followed the steps described on #1287 (comment) but still the same issue.

[danny-avila]

As the error suggests, it's a network issue and unrelated to the project, I'm not sure why there's trouble accessing it.

I recommend trying a local installation. If you have npm installed (v18 recommended) it's as simple as:

npm ci
npm run frontend

To use the app:

npm run backend 

[danny-avila]

You can also try a pre-built image: #1287 (reply in thread)

[pardub]

I was using a vpn.By disabling the vpn, There is no more errors.
Thank you very much for the help!

[peiwenxu]

Could I ask why this is still happening when building docker image.

I changed to npm install and took forever to install...

[peiwenxu]

No worries, it is solved now. Sometime, npm registry is quite slow...
