npm install fails in official node docker image

[leopoldodonnell]

I was gong to run coin-hive in a container, so I grabbed the latest node container and attempted to install coin-hive, but sadly ran into an issue.

Here's the Dockerfile

FROM node

# Force the mkdir, the node install fails
RUN mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/node_modules/coin-hive/node_modules/puppeteer
RUN npm install -g coin-hive

Attempting to build the container looks like this...

$ docker build -t coin-hive --rm .

 ---> Running in 5737d9e5b3c8
npm ERR! opts.mkdirpAsync is not a function

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /root/.npm/_logs/2017-12-18T16_30_44_644Z-debug.log
The command '/bin/sh -c npm install -g coin-hive' returned a non-zero code: 1

Googling around for ERR! opts.mkdirpAsync is not a function I found the following issue npm throw TypeError: opts.mkdirpAsync is not a function when I run npm link #17129

Is there a workaround or a fix?
