What are the runtime dependencies of ROS2? The use-case is that I want to make a docker image that only has what I need to start/run ros2 applications (possibly GUI tools), not build any apps. What is needed? I'm also building from source since I'm running on an Nvidia Jetson that still has Ubuntu 18.04 and I'd like to use ROS2 Galactic.

This is a great docker file for doing a complete source build, but it's overkill for an image that only needs to start and run a node:

What can get trimmed out?

Maybe start from the same image and change the ros pkg argument from ros_base to ros_core. ros_core is the smaller variant. I'm not entirely sure on the specifics, but you may be able to check here https://github.com/ros2/variants
