Sudo command not found

Hi all,
I am running windows 11 with Docker Desktop. After start the Node-red container, I accessed to Node-red through command: "docker exec -it mynodered bash". From here, I tried to run command: "npm install -g n" and got error: permission denied, access '/usr/local/lib/node_modules'. Check ID uid=1000(node-red) gid=20(dialout). I have also attempted to run "sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib/node_modules" but got the error sudo command not found.

Docker containers are locked down by design. There are multiple docker tags for different versions of node.js with Node Red (eg. latest-12, latest-14, latest-16). What is it you're trying to achieve?

Hi Michael,
I want to upgrade Nodejs and NPM to latest version.

2022-04-20T21:49:02.318Z [err] npm ERR! notsup Required: {"node":">=12.13.0 <13.0.0"}
2022-04-20T21:49:02.318Z [err] npm ERR! notsup Actual: {"npm":"6.14.15","node":"14.18.2"}

You do that by running a different image in the container. The error you're getting is probably coming from one of the nodes you have installed, expecting a specific version of node.js. You would be better off by looking in the NR Palette to see if any nodes can be updated, rather than it forcing you into a particular version of node.js. If that doesn't work, the 'latest-12' tag would give you what you need - change the image you're currently running the container to

nodered/node-red:latest-12

Hi Michael,
I tried latest-12 also failed to install the palette (node-red-contrib-accellion (node) - Node-RED)

Containers (incl docker) should be considered to be immutable.
Never, ever install anything into them directly. Instead use the -v mount options to bind your local filesystem or docker volume to the container.

See the documentation for an example. ( "Using a Host Directory for Persistence (Bind Mount)")

Once you have set this up, use the node-red UI directly, hamburger menu in the right top > manage palette > install tab, search the node > install.

Hi Bak,
I tried to install directly using Palette from Node-Red setting but received some errors like this:

I could not install it through the palette (different errors though), and had to do so manually and restart NR to pick up. Then it required node v14.16.0, so I'm not sure why there's a discrepancy. Regardless, then I got the same result as you. Googling err_dlopen_failed didn't help much, but I gave up after the first screenful.

I think you would have to try going back to the developers of the node, although they have not provided a github link.
