A simple bash script to ease npm usage through docker. dnpm is mainly of use when needing to operate preliminary npm tasks before building a docker image. This is in particular necessary when you do not want to pollute the image to build with the building environment (for instance with credentials needed to get dependencies from private repositories). An alternative is to directly operate these tasks in the Dockerfile but this also means ensuring that nothing remains from the building environment which can sometimes be a cumbersome task even if it is quite well described in npm documentation (read the article through its end to realize that you will actually need to squash your image). So the main point of dnpm is to ensure that your configuration and credentials are available within this preliminary build container. This is provided by read-only mounting the host user home directory and ensuring that part of the host user environment is also available within the container. The only host volume that is not mounted read-only is the workdir which is the current project directory (the one with the package.json file) and hence should be protected by a versioning system like git. The default image used by the dnpm container is mhart/alpine-node. This can be easily changed by using the -i option.
