Hi,

running the node process as root user is not perfect, gulp tasks write as root user into mounted volumes.

i would suggest to run everything as node user except the global gulp install:

RUN npm install -g gulp
USER node
WORKDIR /home/node
...

for me that works perfect because my local user ulrich:ulrich has uid=1000, gid=1000 identical to node user inside docker container.

i wonder how this can be made more generic, maybe docker-compose should pass uid,gid from local user into container and then modify node user at runtime.
