Npm install not able to download packages while building docker image

I am using docker on my server which is Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.
My Docker version 18.03.0-ce, build 0520e24.

Since, my app inside the docker container was not able to listen to port 8443 which I was using for https, I started fiddling with docker and its port mappings. I can’t remember everything that we tried, but the last commands before it got messed was :-

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:443:8443/tcp container_name bash                   
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8443:8443/tcp container_name bash

Now, whenever I build my docker image using the command like :-
docker build -t name:tag -f ./Dockerfile-server .
it breaks down at npm install with the following error :-

Step 3/13 : WORKDIR /server  
Removing intermediate container 744d734f9687 
---> ad1cc4b236a4
Step 4/13 : COPY server/package.json /server 
---> 5a9cfde25548 
Step 5/13 : RUN npm install
---> Running in 7c78745fb509

I am not behind any proxy. Any help will be appreciated.
