How to fix error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

CAUSES

1. NODE VERSION: Using Node version 17 and above,
2. Docker: Building with docker pulls the latest version of node.js by default {Node:LTS}.

The problem here is Node.js 17's push to use OPENSSL 3, changing the code required for the initialisation context of the md family.

HOW TO FIX

1. Downgrade Node.js

• You can use nvm (Node Version Manager) for your Os and run
  nvm install 16.15.1
nvm use 16.15.1

• While for docker you can directly supply the version of Node.js to use.
  use Node:16.15.1

1. Enable Legacy Support Get passed the error by enabling support for legacy OpenSSL versions.

• Update ENV Variable
  export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
  Using your terminal Run this on macOs, Linux or Windows Git Bash.

• Updating the package.json file
  "start": "react-scripts start"
  Update to:
  "start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start"
