Can't install node-red-contrib-ibm-db2

General

Hello,

I am not able to install the node-red-contrib-ibm-db2 nodes. I have an application running in IBM Code Engine in which I need in/out nodes with a db2 database. I have tried to install from the nodered UI and CLI (node-red-admin), but install fails. First part of error in log is as follows:
npm install --no-audit --no-update-notifier --no-fund --save --save-prefix=~ --production --engine-strict node-red-contrib-ibm-db2

Do you have any idea what I can do to solve this issue? Are there any dependencies which are not listed?

Welcome to the forum @MariusKolbergsrud

That suggests that it is unable to download that file. Does the system running node-red (not the system running the browser, if they are different) have internet access?
If it does then tell us more about it and how you installed node-red.
If it is a docker install then perhaps the container does not have access to the external network.

[Edit] Do the three dots in the file mean you have missed out the most important part of the log? If so then please post the full log.

Thank you!

I used the nodered/node-red docker image directly in Code Engine. It worked when I used the 1.2.2 version. As I'm quite new to this there are probably better ways to do this. Do you have any tips to "best practice" of publishing a node-red app in Code Engine using docker?

Sorry, I know little about docker and nothing about Code Engine.
I generally advise people to avoid docker unless they have a good reason.
