I think it's better to not run npm as root user on container. I would suggest adding --user 1000 to your docker run command.

Good point. Here's the improvement that work for me

  • It gets tricky with private dependencies, then you have to pass some sort of token into the container to authenticate with the host when installing dependencies.

    • Definitely.

      Would you prefer doing those tricks or exposing everything on your machine to random npm packages?
