Description
This PR is a follow-up of withastro/astro#6004 and this Discord support thread.
It is currently not possible to deploy a project using Astro 2.0 to Render by blindly following the guide due to the fact that Astro 2.0 requires at least Node.js 16.12.0 and Render using by default Node.js version 14.
The proposed change is heavily inspired by the existing Cloudflare Pages deploy guide which has the same issue that is solved using an environment variable specifying the Node.js version added after clicking on an
Advanced
button in the UI, which is the exact same process on Render. Other solutions are also suggested with links to the relevant Render documentation describing how to use them.
