I d not understand teh example npm install like some wiki says.. So please is there a way to install a extra node wit for example a line into my docker compose file?
Or perhaps a other way...

Which nodered version do you run with your docker instance?
I just tested with latest 4.0.8 and it successfully installs:
* * *
```auto

```
Aside: Have you tried to run
`sudo chown -R 1000:1000 "/data/.npm"` in your nodered data folder? As per your error messages indicate?

Can you please share your docker-compose.yml you use for your nodered instance with us?

Do you run docker on Windows? I guess so from one of your screenshots above?

Be careful with my following advise if you rely on persistent data related to your nodered instance. If so, backup your volume 'node-red-data' before going ahead.
One thing you could try **at your own risk** is to gain access to your running node-red container with:
```auto
docker exec -it node-red bash
OR
docker exec -it node-red sh
```
And run before mentioned from within your container
`sudo chown -R 1000:1000 "/data/.npm"`
Exit with
```auto
exit
```
Restart your docker instance and try to install

#- ./data:/nodered/data
#- ./log:/nodered/log
#- ./data:/data
Or is this ok? [i am windows noob sorry]

If you started your node-red container with above listed docker-compose.yml you are done.
With `docker exec -it node-red bash` you access your running container.
Then you can apply `sudo chown ...` as per the error message indicates from inside your container
exit it with `exit`

node-red in this command refers to your "node-red" named service in docker-compose.yml. Did you start your container with this docker-compose.yml?
what is the output of `docker container list`?
EDIT: I see. Your node-red container has no explicit name. My bad. I am so used to it, that I oversaw it 🙂
EDIT II: Since your docker-compose.yml does not provide an explicit name for your node-red container, you will have to use the container id instead of `node-red`. the id is provided with `docker container list`, hence leading to `docker exec -it CONTAINER-ID-HERE bash`

Really, you should not be using Docker unless you understand how to use it. Unless you have a good reason then don't use Docker, it just makes like more complicated.

Let's try one more thing before we proceed here:
what is the output of `docker volume ls`
and what is the output of `docker volume inspect ` with volume\_name being what is provided with docker volume ls
