Additional context

This cost me many, many hours of debugging because it only occurred in CI where volumes with no writes expected are mounted readonly, and during local testing we tend to already have an openapitools.json

[tymonx]

This is annoying when using it inside Docker container with read-only volumes. Versioning is already solved by containerizing the openapi-generator-cli command. There should be an option to skip need for the openapitools.json configuration file or provide an option to select different path for this file.
