`docusaurus start` command shows DeprecationWarning: The `punycode` module is deprecated. about docusaurus

Encounter the same problem too. If you are using pnpm as the package manager, simply run pnpm patch [email protected] and update the require('punycode') to require('punycode/'), then run pnpm patch-commit ... to solve it temporarily.

Thanks

Normally we'd wait for serve-handler to update and fix the problem. Unfortunately, I doubt serve-handler is well-maintained these days, and not sure a fix will be published. We'd probably have to patch it ourselves.

It's a bit risky to change server implementation in a minor release, but we might drop serve-handler in a major if we find a good alternative. I don't know the current landscape of alternatives to serve a static deployment.

There's Nitro, but its primary use-case does not look like to be static deployments, although it could be interesting in the future if we want to add support for Docusaurus server-side features (do we?).

@slorber I agree that serve-handler is not well-maintained anymore. But also don't know of any good alternatives.

[...] if we want to add support for Docusaurus server-side features (do we?).

I would absolutely love to see Docusaurus moving into this direction (as long as they stay optional).
With server-side features there would be endless possibilities to make Docusaurus way better than it already is.

Is this anything to worry about or can I just ignore this warning for my docusaurus site?
