I have attempted to install two modules recently. node-red-contrib-sun-position, and node-red-dashboard. Both have failed due to the same error. Here is the output from my log file:

I have attempted to run the sudo chown -R 1000:1000 "/data/.npm" command recommended in the log file with no success. I attempted to run it from the Unraid NodeRed docker console, and got sh: sudo: not found. If I run it without sudo, I get chown: /data/.npm/_locks: Operation not permitted.
I am running Node-RED v2.0.0-beta.1 in a docker container on my Unraid server. I only use it to interface with a Home Assistant instance running in a separate VM. I have previously been able to install modules, but it's been a couple months since I last attempted to do so. Does anyone know how to fix this error?
Thanks
