Question
DigitalOcean App Node.js Version less than 15

Asked by bherbruck
I am trying to deploy a Node.js app but getting errors that the node version is not supported by dependencies (they support node 12-14 and the server appears to be running node 15). Is there any way other than using a custom docker container deploy to specify the node version? I don’t see any way to do it in the app.yaml file or any documentation as to the environment_slug to use for different node versions.
