🔖 Feature description

The install guide for non-Docker installs in the wiki recommends NodeJS 14 or higher, but the easy install script installs 14 when using the non-Docker way.
NodeJS 14 LTS will be End-of-Maintenance in April 2023, not that far off.
Are there major headaches to be expected when using NodeJS 18 LTS today?

Uptime Kuma should be working fine on Node.js 18, you can update your Node.js manually.

Uptime Kuma should be working fine on Node.js 18, you can update your Node.js manually.

In that case, are there plans to refresh the install script to use 18 going forward?

Node18 would be great. And if you update install scripts / docker containers, please consider using the user node and not root inside the container! (Security)

If you get the error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported on website running on an old IIS+.net with node 18, I found that running NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider pm2 restart uptime-kuma --update-env fixes the error.

This is one of the features slated for the v2 release.
See #2720

Installation script has been sunset and node 14 is tracked in #3746
