Recommended nodejs version?

[sodiumchl]

What is the recommend nodejs version for OO v7?

• automate.py installs v10
• apt install documentserver pulls in v12 ubuntu 20.04
• The latest LTS is v16.

We use v10 in automate.py to be compatible with some rare OS'es we need to work, but I think we in process of actualizing it

Generally speaking - you can use any version you want, I'm not aware that there are any problems related to nodejs version at all

apt install documentserver pulls in v12 ubuntu 20.04

This is not right, DocumentServer do not require any nodejs any more, since we use pkg to package our services and don't require nodejs at all

It seems node14 is set in build_tools/scripts/build_server.py:
pkg_target = "node14"
base.cmd_in_dir(server_build_dir + "/FileConverter", "pkg", [".", "-t", pkg_target, "-o", "converter"])

Does this mean onlyoffice/documentserver should be built with node14?

You are right. It was from somewhere else.

As I said - you can use any version of nodejs newer that 10.22 (If I remember right) and everything should work fine

pkg_target = "node14"
base.cmd_in_dir(server_build_dir + "/FileConverter", "pkg", [".", "-t", pkg_target, "-o", "converter"])

I'm not very good at pkg but as we tell pkg to use it's internal nodejs versioning mechanism to build resulting executable with noidejs 14 framework

I see. Thank you!
