Set temp directory for NPM scripts running with root user (Docker)
Running scripts through npm with root user will not respect the TMPDIR or any other environment variable used to set the temp directory.
Even this looking like a bug. Actually it is a expected behavior as mentioned in this issue.
So the solution is enable the unsafe-perm flag in the NPM configuration. Since
doing this for the global NPM configuration or even in the project scope is quite
unsafe because would run anything with root permissions. I think the safest solution
is running those commands that depend on the temp directory with the --unsafe-perm
argument.
