Hi Team,

I am logically creating a code in ansible-container with reference of a nodejs application container code written using docker. I am not able to find the exact syntax to change the below docker code. Could someone help me on this.

RUN npm config set registry [http://registry.npmjs.org/](http://registry.npmjs.org/) - Set npm  
RUN npm config set proxy [http://prod-proxy-out.xxxx.com:8080](http://prod-proxy-out.xxxx.com:8080/) - set proxy using npm  
RUN tar -xzf \*.tgz - untar a existing tar file

I tried these options, but they are not working

Approach 1:

shell: npm config set registry “{{ nodejs\_npm\_registry }}”  
when: nodejs\_npm\_registry != “[https://registry.npmjs.org/](https://registry.npmjs.org/)”  
Approach 2;

- name: Set NPM registry  
command: ‘npm config set registry [http://registry.npmjs.org/](http://registry.npmjs.org/)’

Approach used for Untar:

unarchive:  
src: “{{ node\_package\_url }}”  
dest: “{{ app\_home\_path }}”  
copy: no  
mode: 0777

None of the above is working. please guide me with proper steps so that i can proceed and run the code by changing the docker file syntax.

TIA!
