Hi, I’m trying to set up a production site on Uberspace and I’ve tried just deploying the default Meteor app but I can’t run the built version due to Fibers.
I ran meteor build --architecture os.linux.x86_64 ../build and subsequently extracted the tarred file, and ran meteor npm install in the build/bundle/programs/server. However, when I tried to start the server with node main.js in bundle/, this is the error trace:
## There is an issue with `node-fibers` ##
`/home/ajay/build/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/bin/linux-x64-93-glibc/fibers.node` is missing.
Try running this to fix the issue: /home/ajay/.nvm/versions/node/v16.15.1/bin/node /home/ajay/build/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/build
Error: Cannot find module '/home/ajay/build/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/bin/linux-x64-93-glibc/fibers'

I tried the suggestion to fix the issue with node-gyp but that then threw an error that gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: /home/ajay/build/bundle) while trying to load binding.gyp. I’m not sure if I should be having to do this in the first place.
I understand that Fibers are broken for Node versions >= 16. I tried downgrading the Node version when doing this too but I don’t think I did it correctly. Would anyone be able to suggest how to proceed?
A new user with the latest version of Node (or any version >= 16) and Meteor would not be able to successfully deploy the barebones example application made with meteor create test-app because of this (that was my approach)
Thanks.
EDIT: I tried doing everything from scratch again, this time in node v14.19.1 (switched using nvm, this is the same version that corresponds to meteor npm -v) but I got the following error:
npm WARN deprecated node-pre-gyp@0.15.0: Please upgrade to @mapbox/node-pre-gyp: the non-scoped node-pre-gyp package is deprecated and only the @mapbox scoped package will recieve updates in the future

Please make sure you are using a supported platform and node version. If you
would like to compile fibers on this machine please make sure you have setup your
build environment--
