Node, npm, package.json updates

[darpham]

TLDR: Can we spend some time to ensure Node, npm, package.json is updated as needed.

While rebuilding the frontend container for new deployment, I ran into this npm error. I'm currently trying some workarounds, but getting a little overhaul on the above request would be great.

Trying with --legacy-peer-deps flag during npm install

[darpham]

Because the packages we're using are so old, they require Python version 2.x.x
Not a big issue, but once again, a package update would help alleviate this.

@alessandro-pianetta What is the current Node/npm version you're using for this project?
Can you add into package.json per documentation

[darpham]

I've had success after downgrading Node version in the docker image to 14.x
Here is the new Dockerfile for frontend, I'll make a new PR soon

FROM node:14 as builder

WORKDIR /srv
COPY . .

RUN npm install --legacy-peer-deps
RUN npm install -g [email protected]

ENV GATSBY_API_HOST open-disclosure.codeforsanjose.org
RUN npm run-script build

FROM nginx:1.21.1
EXPOSE 80
COPY /nginx/default.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
