@eeeee please indicate whether you're going to try the other things I suggested.

Setting up email for nodebb -
AWS SES - Test Email Works, New User registration email doesn't workWhat test email are you sending? Try different ones, some fail silently
-
Setting up email for nodebb@julian I think we can reasonably assume that Zoho takes care of DKIM and SPF.
@eeeee what test email are you sending? Some will fail silently, so try a few different ones to see if that makes a difference.
Check your NodeBB logs to see if there are any errors recently logged.
You might also want to try setting a custom SMTP with the settings Zoho suggests. You also need to use an application specific password if you're using 2FA for Zoho.

Addressing Hyperlink Formatting Issue with Double Comma (e.g., M.Kn) in NodeBB v1.18.5@wnfdh2 yoyo need to move your plugin so it has a greater priority than the markdown plugin. Right now, the markdown is being parsed first so you already have the link when it comes to you.

THIS PLUGIN ONLY SUPPORTS:

but you can upgrade after the import is done
So yes, it only supports an older version. If you buy NodeBB's hosted solution, we can perform the upgrade for you. Contact [email protected]

Need Assistance Configuring SMTP for Email Notifications in NodeBBI think this is a spam post (I just edited it remove a hidden link). If not:
Any SMTP error should be reported to you when you send a test email. At the very least, they should show up in the logs.
What version of NodeBB are you using?
What SMTP server are you targeting (if you don't mind sharing)?
-
Do you have limited or full access to your host?@eeeee said in Do you have limited or full access to your host?:
I did have this conversation previously with @phenomlab, and I recall we were looking at around $40 a month upwards for a dedicated host
If you're fine with Oracle and willing to ensure there is some constant load on your server (from my experience just running Mongo+Redis with some cache for NodeBB will do fine for their usage detection), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is still waving a huge free tier carrot in the form of 4 ARM64 cores w/24GB of RAM w/200GB total disk space (you can distribute these across up to 4VMs)
Otherwise - Hetzner has a great offer. NodeBB deployments are mostly RAM-bound, so I'd personally go for ARM here too - since NodeBB doesn't really have any x86-specific dependencies (also, if you want to save a buck, or rather €0.60, you can put an IPv6-only server behind Cloudflare and get IPv4 connectivity for free ).
You really don't need dedicated unless you really have a lot of users - it may be worth it if you want to host many services (since you can run your own VMs there) or if you actually need a full CPU-worth of performance, but again - the heaviest part of NodeBB is typically the database (and maybe caches), you're almost certainly not using that much processing power to serve a forum
(As for the experience topic, I'm not sure if I can really comment when I'm still in my early 20s, below the lowest concrete number thrown here )

Amazon SES Using the Default Emailer PluginThe built-in email service is an SMTP emailer. So you'll need to set up SES via SMTP:
Using the Amazon SES SMTP interface to send email - Amazon Simple Email ServiceUsing the Amazon SES SMTP interface to send email - Amazon Simple Email Service
Send email through Amazon SES by using the SMTP interface.
(docs.aws.amazon.com)
I haven't used the SES preset, you may need to set custom SMTP settings manually instead.
(BTW, it's not a plugin, it's built into core)

Sendmail issues on a VPS with 2 instances of nodebbFirst off, I don't recommend using sendmail. It's very likely to be caught in spam filters.
How do you know that an email wasn't sent? Have you checked the mailbox on your server?
-
Addressing Hyperlink Formatting Issue with Double Comma (e.g., M.Kn) in NodeBB v1.18.5@clover try changing your hook function to edit
postData
in place and return it directly, rather than creating a new object. -
Two NodeBB instances on same serverThere's are other reasons to have two separate NodeBB installs:
- you may want to run different sets of plugins
- uploaded files are stored within the NodeBB directory, best to keep those separate
- plugins like emoji and customize store files specific to a certain forum, and all plugin files are within the NodeBB folder
-
Changing number of forum hitsIt's a rolling window, and a high-traffic day is no longer included.
Consider this sequence
M T W T F S S M 10 [50 11 10 13 10 18 10]
The next day, that 50 on Tuesday goes out of range, so the sum will decrease even with the same number of days
M T W T F S S M T 10 50 [11 10 13 10 18 10 12]

Oh nice! Following a #WordPress blog using #nodebb is working like a charm!Good job @julian #fediverse #activitypub@[email protected] it was actually because of
@
in actor IDs - the codepath for choosing a webfinger lookup over just accepting the URL as the ID only checked for its presence, and the code for webfinger lookups was only meant to run for theacct:
protocol.So yeah, not WP fault at all, just a combination of a bug and missing feature Now both should be fixed.

Oh nice! Following a #WordPress blog using #nodebb is working like a charm!Good job @julian #fediverse #activitypub@[email protected] Should be fixed now in https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/700016649d25ee5bc6c3fa17e03003677d7f5b5d (not yet deployed here).
The issue was that apparently for the blog actor WP sent actor URI and not
username@host
- which AFAIK is perfectly valid, NodeBB just assumed the latter was always the case -
Email Services Novice and issues sending to GmailWord that from would bee messed up. Can you try undoing your change and
console.log
ing those values to see what they end up being? -
April Update on ActivityPub Development@julian said in April Update on ActivityPub Development:
Oh, one last (huge!) thing to add is that @oplik0 added basic support for the
Flag
activity.Accepting this means that reports from other servers can be appropriately responded to from NodeBB.
While it's not yet on the version running here, upstream the Flag activity now works two-way and even sends/handles Undo for rescinding/deleting a flag (did you know that NodeBB supported rescinding a report? Probably not since it wasn't actually exposed via any UI, just in the API... Well, I'm finally fixing that too ). I think we might be the first/only AP service that can undo flags (but maybe someone will correct me, I only checked Mastodon, Mbin and Lemmy).
So very soon you'll be able to report something here and the moderators on the original instance will see it too.
Some small quirks currently:
- Mastodon uses the instance agent for reports, I think most other software reports as the user instead and the former messes a bit with NodeBB report deduplication - so sadly for now you can only get one report per Mastodon instance, others will be rejected as duplicate.
- The initial reason choice in Mastodon doesn't seem to be federated, just the user-added note...
- for NodeBB default reasons are just shortcuts to basic user notes in a report...
- For now reports are only forwarded to source instance. Mastodon offers forwarding to all mentioned instances, which makes some sense - since instances that are mentioned inside are very likely to contain that post anyway, so if it's something that should be removed it might be good for them to know too.
- As I mentioned I don't think anything else supports rescinding reports yet

High CPU, 503 blue screen error.Is that the entire contents of output.log? The message you posted is pretty useless

Configure session-sharing plugin with JSON file instead of UI for dockerHow do you not have access to mongodb? If you can connect to it from NodeBB, you can connect to it from a cli.
