    # Mount your home directory as the Docker root user's home directory to inherit any host dotfiles
    -v $HOME:/root \
    
    # (Effectively) set the host's working directory as the container's working directory
    -w /tmp \
    
    # Set any environment variables you need (feel free to add as many as you need, each with a new --env switch)
    --env ENV_VAR=$ENV_VAR \
    
    # Select whatever image makes the most sense for you here
    -i node:latest \
