Use default nodejs in docker image #421

Closed jeroen closed 5 months ago

One final small suggestion:

The docker image currently downloads a custom build of node 18, but Ubuntu 24.04 ships with nodejs 18 by default: https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/nodejs

If this version suffices, I think it would be preferable over pulling in 3rd party builds in the docker image. The latter has led to conflicts when we need to build R packages that use the V8 R package, which requires the stock ubuntu libnode.
