Background: I've been running Node-RED on Elastic Beanstalk ("EB") successfully for a few years, on the Amazon Linux 2 platform. However, Amazon Linux 2 ("AL2") is being retired this year and AL2-based EB applications must be migrated to AL2023 (Amazon Linux 2023). AL2023, unlike AL2 (which is somewhat similar to RHEL / CentOS), is a nonstandard distribution which lacks some traditional Linux features such as cron and yum/dnf package management.

Problem: Last year when I was experimenting with AL2023 and N-R v3.1.9, I could never get the app to even complete the `create` / build stage successfully. My guess is that there is a fundamental difference in required configuration, but to date I have not found any documentation or posts / videos / StackOverflow entries on this topic.

Question: Has anyone successfully deployed Node-RED (any version) on AL2023? If so, what steps did you take to accomplish this?
