No you need Strapi V4 for this.
I think V3 will struggle with Node 16

As I said above :slight_smile:
No, you need Strapi V4 for this.

From the V3 docs.

  • Node.js (opens new window): only LTS versions are supported (v12 and v14). Other versions of Node.js may not be compatible with the latest release of Strapi. The 14.x version is most recommended by Strapi.

There is the forums, community discord for the community edition.
There are also some youtube videos and the documentation.

Would be the best place to start.

V3 does not support 18 so you will need 16 as the highest or upgrade to 4.
