Environment

Self-Hosted (Bare Metal)

System

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS x86_64

Describe the problem

Impossible to install Dashy on the latest LTS version of NodeJS (18.18.0). The achrinza/node-ipc@9.2.2 dependency is not up to date and can only be installed on Node 17 or lower.

Additional info

1. go to package.json
2. change node version from "node": ">16.0.0" to "node": "^16.3.0"
3. redeploy with new git project

Commented in pull#1178 - ran into this today - can't install on node 18 - works fine on 16.

Several libraries need updating to make it possible - not just node-ipc.

+1 I also have this problem today trying to deploy on debian 12 bookworm

EDIT: add more debian info

12 (bookworm): 18.13
11 (bullseye): 12.22

Looks like no debian version has suitable node to run dashy...

[DAMIOSKIDEV]

For those wondering how to solve this issue temporarily, use nvm and install version 16.13.0

Node.js 16 goes into end-of-life status on 2023-09-11. Maybe support for version 18 should be a priority?

@Lissy93 Any update about this issue? NodeJS 16 is EOL

[CrazyWolf13]

✨ This will be fixed in 2.1.2, which will be released soon. 🎉

Tested, it even works with Node 20.11.1 LTS 🚀

Still doesn't work for me. I still get this error:

Did you run with ignore engines?

'yarn install --ignore-engines'

I agree, this does not seem to be fixed at this point.

Using version 18.20.4, and changing the package.json to "node": ">16.3.0" under engines, I still get this.

@achrinza/node-ipc@9.2.2: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "8 || 10 || 12 || 14 || 16 || 17". Got "18.20.4"

I had originally started with node version 20.15.1 with the package.json change as well but got this error.

error @achrinza/node-ipc@9.2.2: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "8 || 10 || 12 || 14 || 16 || 17". Got "20.15.1"

running yarn install --ignore-engines did seem to run the command but got the bellow when running yarn build

$ NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider vue-cli-service build 'NODE_OPTIONS' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. error Command failed with exit code 1.

Running npm i cross-env and modifying the package.json to "build": "cross-env NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider vue-cli-service build",.

Doing the above, made it run further than before, but still errored out and failed to build.

Running yarn build --fix (as yarn suggested) still did not work.

First statment on your homepage https://dashy.to/docs/quick-start#2-installation is a real joke.

"Welcome to Dashy! So glad you're here 😊 In a couple of minutes, you'll have your new dashboard up and running 🚀"

I was playing around the hole afternoon and still have not got running it.

Ubuntu 24.04.1 and tried with node 16.17,18,19 and 20
