Update node version

Would it possible to have the latest LTS version on servers by default?

Hi, thanks for the feedback! :)

We are tracking the LTS, ie. current the default version is 14.18.1 (current active LTS). As we do rolling updates for sites, some sites might still use older versions (eg. 14.18.0, released ~month ago, or even the previous branch, 14.17.x).

16.x will become active LTS in couple weeks (26.10.2021), and our plans have been to switch to it later this year.

So, I'd like to ask for clarification, would you like to have 16.x available sooner, or is this request more about eg. speeding up the roll-out for minor/patch versions of whatever LTS version we're currently using? (If specific sites need to get latest 14.x version, we can push that immediately if you contact our customer support via help@seravo.com.)

Sounds good that this is on track!

My confusion came because I had to manually update couple of newish projects from 12.* to the latest LTS. I'll let you know via support if I run into this again.

Closing out.
