michaelr0/volta-docker repository overview

⁠volta-docker

An unofficial container for Volta⁠: The Hassle-Free JavaScript Tool Manager

github.com/michaelr0/volta-docker⁠

⁠How to use this image

This image comes preinstalled with Node 20 LTS, but commands such as npm, yarn should automatically download and use any defined version from your package.json

⁠Basic usage

$ docker run --rm --interactive --tty \
  --volume $PWD:/app \
  michaelr0/volta-docker <command>

⁠Filesystem permissions

By default, Volta runs as root inside the container. This can lead to permission issues on your host filesystem. You can work around this by running the container with a different user:

$ docker run --rm --interactive --tty \
  --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
  --volume $PWD:/app \
  michaelr0/volta-docker <command>

See: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#user⁠⁠ for details.

Note: Docker for Mac behaves differently and this tip might not apply to Docker for Mac users.
