Ubuntu – docker-compose up is forcing me to update my dockerfile

I have fairly limited experience in docker and I’ve been trying to run
docker-compose build on a project I need to run. I’m using docker in windows 10.

The build has been stopping every few seconds and has been giving me different errors, like:

W: The repository 'http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates Release' does not have a Release file. when running RUN apt-get update,

E: Unable to locate package mysql-client when running RUN apt-get -y install mysql-client

etc.

While I have been able to solve the former error, I’ve been trying to get it to install mysql-client for a while now and It just keeps throwing one error or another, despite the changes I’ve made to the dockerfile. (I’ve tried changing the line to RUN apt-get -y install default-mysql-client)

This is my dockerfile:

FROM node:10

RUN echo "UTC" > /etc/timezone
RUN dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -y install mysql-client

RUN mkdir /usr/homework1
RUN mkdir /usr/homework2
RUN mkdir /usr/homework3

My question is, why is this happening? I built the same project on ubuntu about a year ago and it worked just fine. Is there a way to stop it from giving me so many errors? The project has about 10 containers, will I need to go step by step on every single dockerfile? Is it because of the docker-compose version? I’m currently using

Docker Compose version v2.23.0-desktop.1

    The node:10 image is old and based on Debian 9 (called ‘stretch’). Support for Debian 9 stopped in 2022. That’s why the package manager can’t find the packages you want to install.

    Node 10 is also out of support since 2021.

    You should move to a newer version of Node and Debian. The latest LTS version of Node is version 20, so that might be a good candidate. To use it, change your FROM statement to

    FROM node:20

    That image uses Debian 12 (called ‘bookworm’) which will be supported until 2028.

    If for some reason you still want to use node:10 even though it is no longer supported, add it before the RUN apt-get update

    RUN sed -i -e 's/deb.debian.org/archive.debian.org/g' 
           -e 's|security.debian.org|archive.debian.org/|g' 
           -e '/stretch-updates/d' /etc/apt/sources.list
