Installing npm from npmjs.org <http://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. Also, I remember that some dependency of npm (maybe the one that calls xdg-open) recommends or suggests some x11 packages, and one can inadvertently install those, but it was possible to not install them (by installing only dependencies). Sorry for the lack of details, I don't remember right away the name of the package.It's probably node-opener, which calls xdg-open, which is in the xdg-utils package so it depends on it. Unfortunately, while xdg-open itself is a simple script, xdg-utils depends on a lot of other stuff.
node-opener is just a suggested dependency of npm since version 7.24.2+ds-2 (#1000673), did you install suggested dependencies ?
