nodejs - Rendering of Thumbnail Images - still asking for wkhtmltopdf

[JuergenB]

I installed the current release with runtime 20.10.000.150 and 23.10.000.167.

During installation i did not install wkhtmltopdf at all.
I followed the Admin Guide 1.0.2 and installed nodejs as recommended.
But the Runtime still complains about missing WKHTML.

Has someone a working guide for usage of nodejs?

Even if wkhtmltoxis deprecated and potentially insecure...

Why does the runtime still installs the module at all ?!

Install wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage by command 'yum install https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6-1/wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos8.x86_64.rpm'
Do you want to install wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage now? (N/y, Blank => Cancel):

Some OpenEMM users do not want to use nodejs or are not allowed to use it. Therefore, we kept wkhtmltox as an alternative.
