      Opening an empty workspace and trying to run npm install nodeshift fails:

      projects $ npm install nodeshift
npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! syscall mkdir
npm ERR! path /home/user/.npm/_cacache
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Your cache folder contains root-owned files, due to a bug in
npm ERR! previous versions of npm which has since been addressed.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! To permanently fix this problem, please run:
npm ERR!   sudo chown -R 1035440000:0 "/home/user/.npm"

npm ERR! Log files were not written due to an error writing to the directory: /home/user/.npm/_logs
npm ERR! You can rerun the command with `--loglevel=verbose` to see the logs in your terminal

      (And running sudo chown -R 1035440000:0 "/home/user/.npm" fails too, of course).

      This problem is not specific to `~/.npm` as any can occur for any dot folder that has been created during the build (as it result as owned by `root`).

      Note that upstream this problem is already solved: https://github.com/devfile/developer-images/blob/main/universal/ubi8/Dockerfile#LL421C47-L421C60
