Running Azure Web App for Containers with a custom image built for Drupal.

I am experimenting on some alternate deployment methods and when I am trying to push with each module, gulp theme files and composer modules, I am getting the following -

Error: ELOOP: too many symbolic links encountered, stat '/home/site/wwwroot/themes/private_theme/node_modules/.bin/extract-zip'
An error has occurred during web site deployment.
Kudu Sync failed
\n/opt/Kudu/bin/Scripts/starter.sh bash deploy.sh

I checked the Jenkins job and I see that the files get uploaded to the repository properly but then this error occurs.
