Installing latest CMake binaries on top of a jenkins Docker container

I need to install a very recent version of CMake on top of a jenkins Docker container. My Dockerfile looks like this:

FROM jenkins/jenkins:lts

# Install required plugins
COPY plugins.txt /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins.txt
RUN /usr/local/bin/install-plugins.sh < /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins.txt

# Install CMake
RUN mkdir $JENKINS_HOME/cmake
RUN curl -L https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.13.1/cmake-3.13.1-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz | tar --strip-components=1 -xz -C $JENKINS_HOME/cmake

When I start the FROMcontainer interactive ($ docker run -it jenkins/jenkins:lts bash) I am able to install CMake to $JENKINS_HOME/cmake.

$ docker run -it jenkins/jenkins:lts bash
$ mkdir $JENKINS_HOME/cmake
$ curl -L https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.13.1/cmake-3.13.1-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz | tar --strip-components=1 -xz -C $JENKINS_HOME/cmake

$ ls $JENKINS_HOME/cmake

However, when I try to build that image using docker build, the build fails:

...

curl: (23) Failed writing body (2500 != 16360)

Running whoami from within the Dockerfile and from within the interactive session, both yields jenkins.

What is the main difference between both installation approaches and how can I install the latest CMake binaries using docker build?

Take a look here it's a Dockerfile from gcc that installs the latest version of cmake, this is its content:

FROM gcc:5

RUN wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.17.2/cmake-3.17.2-Linux-x86_64.sh \
      -q -O /tmp/cmake-install.sh \
      && chmod u+x /tmp/cmake-install.sh \
      && mkdir /usr/bin/cmake \
      && /tmp/cmake-install.sh --skip-license --prefix=/usr/bin/cmake \
      && rm /tmp/cmake-install.sh

ENV PATH="/usr/bin/cmake/bin:${PATH}"

I was looking for a solution to build XGboost for GPU usage inside a Docker and needed a cmake with the version above 3.12. This installation method works for me.
