Compatibility with recent node versions #986

Open mal-tee opened 1 year ago

As even Ubuntu comes with Node.JS 18 nowadays we should fix our build process for versions >=14.

End of life for Node 14 is 2023-04-30, with Node 18 being the current LTS.

The main problem is that new node versions ship a fixed OpenSSL version that's not compatible with webpack4. The very dirty hotfix is export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider;, but I haven't attempted that yet. In theory it is possible to configure a different hashFunction via webpack options. But with "sha256", I run into weird undefined errors with babel down the line. (Although that could be completely unrelated).

The non-hacky way to proceed is upgrading to webpack 5.

Instead of investing effort into that, I would much rather recommend switching to Hugo for the JS build as well.

Sure!

Node 18 is LTS but is our of "Active Support", now in "Security Support". Latest LTS is Node 20 (10 month "Active Support" remaining, 2 years and 4 month "Security Support" remaining)

Node 20 LTS should be our target now (after getting rid of webpack, by migration to hugo)
