Problem to solve

I’m having a problem with a build pipeline running and installing NPM packages so I can run cypress tests. The errors I keep getting are:

$ npm ci

The test job part of gitlab-ci.yml looks like:

uoe_ci:cypress_tests:
  stage: test
  before_script:
    - npm install
  script:
    - npm run e2e
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - cypress/**/*
  rules:
    - if: $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_ID
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH =~ /^release/
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH =~ /^project/
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH =~ /^hotfix/
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "master"

I’m using a custom Docker image that I built from two sources and that can be found here:

Really, I’m not sure why I’m getting these network errors. Would welcome any suggestions!

Thanks in advance!
