For the jammy release, VTK 9.1 packages exists, see here.
Do you require a custom installation of VTK? If not, I would suggest to opt for the package on jammy. This will shorten the build time of the docker image.

Hi @marcfehling, thanks for pointing this out!
Unfortunately in Ubuntu 22.04 there is a clash between the dependencies of Trilinos and VTK, please see the discussion here.
Additionally, the custom build commands that I've provided result in a very lightweight installation of VTK, by getting rid of all the graphical modules that will likely never be used in deal.II.
Tested on my local machine and using 2 cores, the additional time for building the Docker associated with VTK is around 20 minutes.

Thanks for pointing it out. That's annoying! Looks like the difference between libtbb2 and libtbb is really just the version tbb 2020.3 vs tbb 2021.5 (probably for backwards compatibility?).
You found a working solution that works, and I guess 20 minutes extra for building the image is okay. Not ideal, but okay.
As the title says :)
