Break up that RUN line into a few different ones so that you can figure out which command is returning error code 4. Once you know that, you should be able to troubleshoot it a bit better.

To test that hypothesis, maybe change your RUN line to have the URL hardcoded instead of relying on the ARG expansion:

RUN wget -q http://laplinux8/sw/Install_Mgr_v1.6.2_Lnx_WASv8.5.5.zip -O /tmp/IM.zip

If that works, then that tells you there is a problem with the build arg. if it has the same problem, that that is likely not the cause.

https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Exit-Status.html - this has a list of wget’s exit code meanings.

Hi,

I face the same issue(returned with non-zero code 4 i.e. network failure) with wget .
Can you please let me know how to open the port in FW i.e. what command needs to be added to my docker file(I am getting this problem when building Dockerfile).

Thanks in advance
