What is the Problem?

Docker (github actions) running into error when starting up the server for tests -- specifically "libcrypto.so.1.1".

Only became an issue this week. No issue when running outside of docker. Have tried to downgrade versions

Do you know why it happenes?

no

from what i can tell, this issue is a duplicate of #732

i dont know why it started happening this week, but the TL;DR is that ubuntu 22.04 (ex ubuntu:latest) does not ship libraries for libcrypto 1.1 anymore and the default binaries are currently 5.0.x, which dont have a native version for ubuntu 22.04, only 6.0.4 or higher have builds for this ubuntu version

see config option VERSION on how to configure a binary version

thanks @hasezoey -- switching to node:lts-bullseye worked, as suggested by @sagrawal31
