I'm building a python3.10-slim docker image with pm2 for development
purposes. When running apt install npm (to install pm2), I end up with
x11 installed:
# apt install npm

Need to get 132 MB of archives.
After this operation, 512 MB of additional disk space will be used.
This seems way to much just for npm running on a headless environment.

Hi,
npm has a lot of features and depends on nodejs and its eco-system.
Installing npm from npmjs.org + nodejs requires the same space.
When building your docker image, you can safely remove /usr/share/nodejs
and nodejs packages after using npm.
Cheers,
Yadd
