For my current development project, I wanted to install NodeJS in my docker image, with the following constraints:
<ul>
<li>OS starting point that I define ( monthly patched version of Debian-LTS )
</li>
<li>Latest security patched version of the NodeJS binaries
</li>
<li>Need faster security patching
</li>
<li>Avoid using Package Manager - no apt
</li>
<li>Low disk footprint
</li>
</ul>
