Deploy issue: Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

I followed the readme and used nvm to switch to node 12 (previously I tried with node 16 LTS, same issue)

Environment: Fedora Linux (Fedora 36).

nvm use
Found '/test-dapp/.nvmrc' with version <v12>
Now using node v12.22.12 (npm v6.14.16)

Same issue with yarn build & yarn start

The Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported issue seems a "well known" issue, in fact I remember I had this issue in a couple of other repos too, and the solution was to use node LTS. Well now I'm using node LTS and the issue is there.

I tried also what people suggest if you google search how to fix this:

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Then tried again:

yarn deploy
/usr/bin/node: --openssl-legacy-provider is not allowed in NODE_OPTIONS

The option to use openssl legacy is not allowed.

Can you please suggest a fix or even better push a fix so that when users clone this repo on a fresh machine and follow the instructions in the README it works out of the box?

A plus would be to support also the actual LTS version v16.x since v12 is a bit oldish.

Thank you.

Hi @cryptotester, sorry for the delay in responding to this. It looks like we can make a change to the Webpack config to fix this, but we would need to upgrade it to at least 5.54.0 first, which itself requires an upgrade to Node. I've added an issue to upgrade Node here: #200
