Web-admin builder is a Docker image using gulp to build web pages from their templates.

The most probable error reason is that there's no access to the Internet from inside the container.

Diagnostics:

Check the logs of the web admin builder container:

docker ps

930a2a8ce0a2   headwindmdm/node-gulp-builder:15.2.0-alpine3.12-0.2   "/entrypoint.sh"         6 days ago   Up 4 minutes                              node-gulp-builder-container

docker logs 930a2a8ce0a2

You will see something like:

npm ERR! network request to https://registry.npmjs.org/gulp failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 104.16.28.34:443

npm ERR! network This is a problem related to network connectivity.

npm ERR! network In most cases you are behind a proxy or have bad network settings.

npm ERR! network

npm ERR! network If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the

npm ERR! network 'proxy' config is set properly.  See: 'npm help config'

Solution 

You need to run the builder without creating its own network interface (network_mode: host).

Edit the file deploy/pre_webadmin.yaml, find the line

Find the lines

   - name: Start build web-admin

      docker_container:

and add the line

      network_mode: host

This should resolve the issue.
