This is what I have done in the first place
docker run --name=nodesetup -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app
node bash
Mysql2 works fine
npm i mysql2
when I go for
npx create-react-app test-client
sh: 1: create-react-app: Permission denied
I am bind mounted root@83d263a01dc7:/usr/src/app/test-app#.
How to solve this?
It's an issue with permissions on the host directory that you map. What exactly the issue is, I can't figure out. The container runs as root, so it should have access.
But if you run your container with the UID and GID of your user on the host by adding -u $(id -u):$(id -g) as an option, it works. Like this
docker run --name=nodesetup -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app -u $(id -u):$(id -g) node bash
This also has the advantage that the files created on the host are owned by you, making it easier to edit them, etc.
