Hello,

I am trying to run Node-red using Docker. My Dockerfile is as follows:

```auto
FROM nodered/node-red:latest-12-minimal

COPY settings.js /data/
USER root
RUN chown -R node-red:root /data
USER node-red
RUN npm install

```

I am using `docker build` to create the image. After that when I start the container I get following error in the `docker logs`:

```auto
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/data/package.json’

```

The Node-red instance is working fine. But every time I install a node from Palette I get the same error. However the new node is also working properly.

Can someone please explain the significance of this error and how to resolve it?
