I have exactly the same issue. I have a disk usage limit of 250GB with 4GB swap space and only use 1.7GB on images. The error occurs when building. No containers are running during this build. I don’t know where to look for an explanation, let alone for a solution…

It seems the npm command required too much memory. You can start a container and run the commands interactively while you monitor the memory usage in another terminal.
