Hello there!  
lately I can't updating/installing any module takes a lot of time; here a few info:

```auto
28 Oct 23:20:45 - [info] Node-RED version: v2.1.3
28 Oct 23:20:45 - [info] Node.js version: v14.18.1
28 Oct 23:20:45 - [info] Linux 5.10.0-9-amd64 x64 LE

```

My instance run on Docker on a Debian 11 machine, here my docker-compose file:

```auto
  node-red:
    container_name: nuc_nodered
    ports:
      - "1881:1880"
    volumes:
      - ./docker/nodered:/data
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    image: nodered/node-red:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Rome

```

I've activated _trace_ level log, when I update a module with the palette this is the log output

```auto
28 Oct 23:32:53 - [trace] npm["install","--no-audit","--no-update-notifier","--no-fund","--save","--save-prefix=~","--production","--engine-strict","node-red-contrib-deconz@2.0.8"]
28 Oct 23:32:53 - [debug] npm install --no-audit --no-update-notifier --no-fund --save --save-prefix=~ --production --engine-strict node-red-contrib-deconz@2.0.8
...

```

Five minutes for a single package: is it normal?  
With previous version of NR it was much faster.

EDIT:  
Now all my modules update fails after a random number of minutes with ETIMEDOUT errors, like the following

`Miscellaneous Warning ETIMEDOUT: request to https://registry.npmjs.org/lodash.random failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT`  
I tried a wget [https://registry.npmjs.org/lodash.random](https://registry.npmjs.org/lodash.random) and it randomly work.

```auto
29 Oct 00:18:02 - [debug] [err] npm
29 Oct 00:18:02 - [debug] [err] WARN registry Unexpected warning for https://registry.npmjs.org/: Miscellaneous Warning ETIMEDOUT: request to https://registry.npmjs.org/has-symbols failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 104.16.16.35:443

```

Thanks!

What hardware are you running on?

Do you have a good internet connection of reasonable speed?

Are you running in a home environment or corporate, possibly with firewalls and so on?
