chore: Upgrade to NodeJS 20

[tuliomir]

Acceptance Criteria

• Should upgrade the application to use Node.js v20

Notes on SSL usage

Starting with NodeJS 17, a security fix with breaking changes was implemented and dropped support to older versions of OpenSSL ( official announcement ). So, every dependency used has to be compatible with OpenSSL 3.0 from now on.

By inserting the --openssl-legacy-provider flag on our start and build scripts we can avoid this temporarily. Adding this flag does not decrease our security, but only keeps it in the same level as it was on the last version.

A future PR will deal exclusively with upgrading this security point and removing this flag. The most relevant dependency impacting this upgrade is the react-scripts, as described on #441 .

Notes on lockfile

NodeJS 20 could handle an upgrade of the lockfile version to v3. However, this forces an update of all the patches and minor versions of all the indirect dependencies. Until the React Router is updated to v6, this approach is not feasible, as it breaks the npm install.

A dedicated PR will be opened later to upgrade the lockfile.

Notes on building

Both the development environment and the built binaries work correctly, as recorded by #493 .

Security Checklist

• Make sure you do not include new dependencies in the project unless strictly necessary and do not include dev-dependencies as production ones. More dependencies increase the possibility of one of them being hijacked and affecting us.
