`node:lts-slim` does not include OpenSSL as it is now based on bookworm because of upstream change in `debian:bookworm-slim` image

[Jolg42]

Environment

• Image Tag: node:lts-bookworm-slim (alias of node:lts-slim)

Expected Behavior

node:lts-bookworm-slim/node:lts-slim has OpenSSL v3 included

Current Behavior

node:lts-bookworm-slim/node:lts-slim does not include any version of OpenSSL

Possible Solution

I'm not sure if this was intentional or expected, I could not find any communication about this. A solution would be to include OpenSSL v3 in the image (RUN apt-get install -y openssl).

Steps to Reproduce

ldconfig -p | grep ssl
// does not return any match

Additional Information

For people that are using node:lts-slim (and its variants) and depended on OpenSSL to be present, this is an unexpected change. (I guess that most people, like Prisma users, also probably didn't know that they depended on OpenSSL until now, as it was working before, because it was included)

node:lts-bookworm-slim Dockerfile base image is FROM debian:bookworm-slim https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/blob/main/18/bookworm-slim/Dockerfile

The official docker image for Debian is where the change comes from

• in bullseye-slim OpenSSL 1.1.1n is mentioned.
• in bookworm-slim OpenSSL is not mentioned.

Same findings on debuerreotype/docker-debian-artifacts repository

• in bullseye-slim libssl1.1:amd64 1.1.1n-0+deb11u5 is mentioned.
• in bookworm-slim OpenSSL is not mentioned.

The node:lts-bookworm (alias of node:lts) does not have this issue since it is based on FROM buildpack-deps:bookworm https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/blob/main/18/bookworm/Dockerfile
