I'm trying to deploy my app from github to DigitalOcean app server and the build fails. The build log is as follows:

The description ERROR: failed to build: exit status 1 doesn’t help me much. I don't know why it doesn't work. It works when run locally and also run properly when deployed to Heroku server. Any hint what can be the source of this? Anyone met with such problem?
Btw.: I've tried to post this question 3 times on DigitalOcean community questions page and always it looked like it's posted, and never could I find it later :(
Turned out, that DigitalOcean doesn't support NodeJS 18 yet and this is causing the problem :(
Only NodeJS 14 and 16 for now.
Edit:
Here's more info on this: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/reference/buildpacks/nodejs/
Just specify in your node app's package.json like this
"engines": { "node": "16.x"}, or "engines": { "node": "14.x"},
