Does not work with Node.js v16

This package only works with Node.js v12 & v14.

Here is the error in Node.js v16 environment:

> npx jest

Starting the instance failed, enable debug for more information

Turning on MONGOMS_DEBUG inside the container and manually running the tests gives the following error when trying to use the mongodb binary:

stderrHandler: ""/home/node/.cache/mongodb-binaries/mongod-x64-debian-4.0.25: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by /home/node/.cache/mongodb-binaries/mongod-x64-debian-4.0.25)

This is really a nail in the coffin for using Mongo 4.0.X as Node 16 images default to Buster and you cannot install libcurl3 with SSL support in Debian 10 or 11 (dropped support for SSLv1.0 which is what MongoDB 4.0.X is looking for). If you are using MongoDB v4.4 or higher, there should be no issue with the updated libcurl4 versions.

I’m testing the node:16-stretch and node:16-stretch-slim image to see if they will work for me.

My apologies for continuing to update this closed ticket. It’s clear the issue is not with the code in this repo or the code in mongo-memory-server packages. I have a feeling many people will run onto this in the not-too-distant future and maybe this issue can save them some work.

Ultimately using the stretch image did work out. I was not able to make the stretch-slim image work. Both the node:16-stretch image and the node:16.11.1-stretch image worked for me.
