Timeout error when running images built with dependencies

Docker Desktop for Windows
1

My goal is to create a container where I can:

  1. Input data
  2. Process the data on an executable (.exe) file
  3. Output processed data

I want to use NodeJS to handle the input/output using REST.
So, I would need to install NodeJS on the container along with the dependencies of the executable files.

My Dockerfile now looks like this:

FROM microsoft/windowsservercore

COPY installers installers
COPY sources sources
COPY ProjectXYZ ProjectXYZ

# Install NodeJS and dependencies
RUN cd C:\installers && \
    msiexec.exe /qn /i "node-v8.11.3-x64.msi" && \
    Jet40SP8_9xNT.exe /Q && \
    setup.exe /configure configuration.xml && \
    DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:C:\sources\sxs && \
    DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx4 /All /LimitAccess && \
    cd C:\ && \
    rmdir /s /q sources && \
    rmdir /s /q installers

# Start the service 
ENTRYPOINT "cd C:/ProjectXYZ && node server.js"

This Dockerfile, although takes a long time due to some downloads, builds successfully.

PS C:\projectxyz> docker build -t projectxyz .

However, timeout error always occur when running the built image.

PS C:\projectxyz> docker images

But if I run an image interactively (without the dependencies) and manually install the dependencies in the container, everything works just fine. The container and the project runs as expected.

The system I’m trying to make would need to create multiple copies of this container and run each of it in detached mode. So manually installing the dependencies for each container is already out of the question.

MAIN QUESTION: What do I do to successfully run this image?

Is there a limitation in running large images?
Because as you can see, after installing the dependencies, the image is now 14.5GB.
I could not find any mention of it in the documentation.

Gratitude for your help…
