When I stop the vite live server sail npm run dev of Laravel 10 by ctrl + c, the CLI tells me to upgrade npm with this message.
npm notice
npm notice New patch version of npm available! 9.6.4 -> 9.6.5
npm notice Changelog: https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v9.6.5
npm notice Run npm install -g npm@9.6.5 to update!
npm notice
Here is a screenshot of the npm upgrade notice.
Upgrade npm inside Laravel Sail Docker environment
You can not just run npm install -g npm@9.6.5 and upgrade. This is not your docker-contained npm! and if your wanna upgrade by sail npm install -g npm@9.6.5, you don’t have the permissions to upgrade npm like that.
What should I do?
I use sail root-shell to get the Docker environment root shell. Then I use npm install -g npm@9.6.5. And voila, it works.
Here is a screenshot of steps and commands I used.
I hope this helps. Share if you care.

totally nonsense to do that. You have mess with permissions.
So, what is the ideal way to upgrade npm inside Sail?
you should need recreate docker container. If you look at Dockerfile, you will see required place.
...
&& apt-get install -y nodejs \&& npm install -g npm \
...
PS in our company sail container is even isolated from www.
Thanks for your reply. I will try to upgrade it on the dockerfiles.
