Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported in my pod

Question

I am getting an unfamiliar error that is keeping my k8s cluster from starting when I run skaffold dev .

➜ ticketing git:(master) ✗ kubectl logs client-depl-d86b58456-tv8l2

client@1.0.0 dev next

Browserslist: caniuse-lite is outdated. Please run: npx browserslist@latest --update-db ready - started server on http://localhost:3000 node:internal/crypto/hash:67 this[kHandle] = new _Hash(algorithm, xofLen); ^

Node.js v18.3.0

I did run this command: npx browserslist@latest --update-db , that did not solve it.

Answer 1

I had to go inside the package.json file of my frontend client application and change the start script to NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider next dev

Error was documented here:

https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/40455

I hope this helps someone else.

Answer 2

"start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start"

Answer 3

I downgraded the Node.js version I was using to v16.13.0 and so far it's working for me.

If you are using NVM (Node Version Manager), perform the installation using the commands:

1. nvm install 16.13.0
2. nvm use 16.13.0
