Node v18+ - TLS - local issuer problem

[DesmoGiec]

Details

Hello :) I'm trying to run a discordjs over nodejs on my webhost, but I'm having an issue. With nodejs v16 all works perfectly. discordjs requires nodejs 16.1+, I'm on 16.2 so no problem at all, for now. But for the future I'd like to update nodejs, but here's the issue. When I try to run the app, I got this error:

[Discord (18)] [pcdjkska@hostingssd84 Bot]$ node index
Error: unable to get local issuer certificate
    at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (node:_tls_wrap:1540:34)
    at TLSSocket.emit (node:events:513:28)
    at TLSSocket._finishInit (node:_tls_wrap:959:8)
    at ssl.onhandshakedone (node:_tls_wrap:743:12) {
  code: 'UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY'
}

I've tried with disabling ssl in strict-ssl npm cmd, tried to generate CA certs and use NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS... Nothing worked. I have no clues, hope somebody can help me figuring out what's wrong.. Thanks in advance. Mirko

Can you run uname -a on your webhost and share the output

[DesmoGiec]

[pcdjkska@hostingssd84 ~]$ uname -a Linux hostingssd84.netsons.net 3.10.0-962.3.2.lve1.5.77.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 12 07:06:14 EST 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Are you using any self signed cerificates

[DesmoGiec]

I've used Let's Encrypt, which is implemented in cPanel, so it's not self signed. When browsing the site, the lock icon shows up, and it's reported that "verified by: Let's Encrypt" Crypted connection, TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, 128bit keys, TLS 1.3
