I would love to hear everyone’s opinion.

          Agreed. Honesly I use docker like snap these days. Need a specific version of node?

          alias node="docker run --rm -ti -v '${PWD}:${PWD}' -w '${PWD}' node:16-alpine"
          
          alias npm="docker run --rm -ti -v '${PWD}:${PWD}' -w '${PWD}' node:16-alpine npm"
          

          Pretty much every CLI tool that isn’t super basic to install I do this with.

            Wow, that’s really clever. And dead simple at the same time.

              Yea, I contribute to a bunch of own source projects, so it makes it easy to jump around without conflicts. Also great for random stuff like youtube-dl, or esphome, etc, that you use once in a while. Just slap the aliases in my bashrc.
