npm install error with docker - kurento application

Question

I am trying to install a kurento webserver in docker container.

And trying to execute the kurento one to one call tutorial.

I am getting a error during the step npm install.

Step:

RUN cd kurento-tutorial-node/kurento-one2one-call && npm install

Error is as follows:

> node-gyp rebuild

gyp ERR! configure error

Node version in standard Ubuntu 14.04 packages is pretty old (0.10). Use the installation instructions from the nodejs web page instead.

You can also choose to build your container FROM a node image, and then install Kurento and the kurento one-to-one tutorial on top of that. However, take into account that running several processes within a container can be cumbersome and error prone. Specially when some of the processes are run as services. There are instructions on the official Docker documentation on how to achieve that using Supervisor.
