Node/NPM/Yarn via Docker Run

node-via-docker-run.md

To start a bash prompt with only Docker installed on your host OS, run the following command:

docker run --rm -v $PWD:/src -w /src -u node -it node /bin/bash

Here's what each parameter does:

• --rm removes the container once you exit
• -v $PWD:/src will mount your current host working directory into /src inside the container
• -w /src will set the working directory of the container to /src
• -u node will set the user/UID to node
• -it will enable interactive mode (keep STDIN open) and allocate a pseudo-TTY
• node is the latest node docker image
• /bin/bash is the command that will be run

From there, you'll be able to run commands like node, npm and yarn without having to install them locally.
