Description: A Torino Node.js application is located in the ~torino-app directory.
You can run it directly with: nohup node app.js > app.log 2>&1 &. You can also verify that it works by running: curl localhost:3000

There is already a torino Docker image built with the Dockerfile in ~torino-app, but the resulting image size is 916 MB.

Your task is to optimize the Docker image size:
1. Build a new Docker image for the Torino application, also called torino:latest but with a total size under 122 MB
2. Create and run a container using this optimized image.

NOTE: You can only use the existing Docker images in the server.
To build a Node application you need to COPY in your Dockerfile, besides the app.js , the package*.json files and without Internet access, the node_modules directory, since you cannot RUN npm install.

Root (sudo) Access: True

Test: The torino Docker image is less than 122 MB and curl http://localhost:3000 returns Hello from Torino!
