Install private package in Docker with authentication

I have an angular package in a private npm in azure and I need to install it in a docker. I don't know how to get an authentication token to connect to the private npm, I have .npmrc file.

My docker

FROM node:latest AS build
 
RUN mkdir -p /app

WORKDIR /app

COPY package.json /app

COPY .npmrc .npmrc
   
RUN npm install https://myprivate-npm/npm/registry/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}

RUN npm install

When I installed it locally, I ran these two commands from VS Code and they did the job

npm install -g vsts-npm-auth --registry https://registry.npmjs.com --always-auth false    
vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc

To get an access token in docker:

ammend your .npmrc file with the following contents:

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}

Ammend your dockerfile:

FROM node:latest AS build
ARG NPM_TOKEN
RUN mkdir -p /app
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json /app
COPY .npmrc .npmrc
RUN npm install
RUN rm -f .npmrc

Build your image replacing ${NPM_TOKEN} with your npm token docker build --build-arg NPM_TOKEN=${NPM_TOKEN} .

Everything here can be found in the npm documentation
