Sharing the one that works for me on Amazon Linux 2023 Dockerfile using LibreOffice 7.6.7.2:

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 \
    libXinerama \
    java-23-amazon-corretto-headless \
    wget \
    tar && \
    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

@pradella That does not work.

@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.
