Npm production failing

I have moved my site to a digital ocean server and now I am trying to get everything working properly. Npm is giving me a headache though, run dev and run watch work fine but when I run prod it gets to 91%, hangs for awhile and then fails with a very unclear reason. Is there anything I have missed to set it up properly?

Error log:
