As the title says, is there a way (or workaround) to use the Node.js runtime instead of the Edge runtime for middleware? This project won't be running on Vercel and will be self-hosted

It’s still the edge runtime unfortunately. Unpopular design decision and I heard they are planning to support nodejs in middleware for self hosting

I'm not sure but if it is self hosted shouldn't the middleware use the node runtime the whole application is using?

Way, no.
Workaround: make an api route, move nodejs logic to there and fetch that api route inside middleware
