@pradella That does not work.

For some unknown reaasons, now it's required gzip and xy. Below mine that is just working (not sure if ImageMagick, ghostscript, poppler-utils and GraphicsMagick are required, you can try to remove to see if works.

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:22
WORKDIR ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}

# Install required packages (Amazon Linux 2023 uses dnf instead of apt-get)
RUN dnf install -y \
    ImageMagick \
    ghostscript \
    poppler-utils \
    GraphicsMagick \
    libXinerama \
    java-23-amazon-corretto-headless \
    wget \
    tar \
    gzip \
    xz && \
    dnf clean all

# Download and install LibreOffice
RUN cd /usr/local && \
    wget https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/7.6.7.2/rpm/x86_64/LibreOffice_7.6.7.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz && \
    tar -xvf LibreOffice_7.6.7.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz && \
    rm -f LibreOffice_7.6.7.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz && \
    rpm -Uvh LibreOffice_7.6.7.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm/RPMS/*.rpm

# Verify LibreOffice installation
RUN libreoffice7.6 --version

Updated Dockerfile for Node 24, Java 25 and LibreOffice 26.2.1. Tested a few doc conversions and it works fine with no warnings:

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:24

RUN dnf install -y \
      libXinerama \
      nss \
      dbus-libs \
      cups-libs \
      libX11-xcb \
      java-25-amazon-corretto-headless \
      wget \
      tar \
      gzip \
      xz \
    && dnf clean all \
    && rm -rf /var/cache/dnf

RUN cd /usr/local \
    && wget -q https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/26.2.1/rpm/x86_64/LibreOffice_26.2.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz \
    && tar -xf LibreOffice_26.2.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz \
    && rm -f LibreOffice_26.2.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz \
    && rpm -Uvh LibreOffice_26.2.1*/RPMS/*.rpm \
    && rm -rf LibreOffice_26.2.1*

ENV PATH="${PATH}:/opt/libreoffice26.2/program" \
    PYTHONHOME="/opt/libreoffice26.2/program/python-core-3.12.12"

Proper binary name is soffice in this version
