Can anyone offer a little insight on where we might get started on something like this, perhaps which page/s need to be modified, etc along with some idea of using a plugin for this which I assume is what we'll have to develop to survive upgrade. Any other tidbits of information would certainly be appreciated.
Would love to see if nodebb could be the solution for an upcoming project.

@baris upgraded and it works now

@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 😄 )

There'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

Yes, thanks both. I was confused!

@Nuran-Akimbek You are chasing solutions without knowing the reason for the problem.

Listen to what @baris asked of you here: https://community.nodebb.org/post/99346

Fix what is causing your server restarts, and you will fix your problem. You don't have to do something like migrate to Postgres.

@phenomlab
no, ACP - admin/settings/general upload

@mutahar-ali You'd probably want to move the redis server to another machine in that case. Either a separate one, or on the same machine as the Mongo database.

I also had the same problem, checked the config.json 、 admin/settings/general#site-logo、nginx，both set correctly。Also reset the logo and restart , don't know how to solve it, please help me, thanks

@baris got it!

@omega well I do pride myself on a well stocked fridge but maybe not that well stocked :rofl:

@[email protected] hello! Unfortunately I'm busy this coming Tuesday but would be interested to chat about doing something in the future. Something I should be clear about first though is that I'm not involved in Podcamp Toronto or really in the podcasting community at all these days. I ended my last podcast around 2010, so most of my direct experience really is "historical" lol.

You're welcome. Please spread the word about NodeBB in your country. Thank you.

Just as an update, (incase anyone else has this problem), chatgtp was quite good sorting out, and removing older versions, and said:

The naming difference between node and nodejs primarily stems from historical reasons and package management conventions.
In some Linux distributions, including Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu, the package for Node.js is named nodejs to avoid a conflict with another package called node. This node package is unrelated to Node.js and is used for a different purpose.
The naming convention was introduced to prevent potential conflicts between Node.js and the unrelated node package. However, this led to confusion for users accustomed to using the node command to execute Node.js scripts. To address this confusion, symbolic links or alternatives are often used to allow the node command to point to the nodejs executable.
While the naming convention can indeed be confusing, it's a result of the need to avoid conflicts and maintain compatibility with existing packages. Efforts have been made to streamline this naming difference in newer versions of Node.js, but it may still persist in certain distributions and setups.

Are you sure you want to use Apache web server? Even lightweight nginx working as reverse proxy can be easily overloaded with normal traffic. And you will see a result like this. Similar to attacking php-based forum with ddos-bots traffic.

Bluescreen rate-limiting high traffic will help to reduce server load so you want to leave it as it is.

A better idea is to install firewall or similar software to deny traffic from problematic IPs/countries/etc.

@Mia-smith said in Need suggestion: Experiencing Persistent API Error:

I also check this : https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17758/error-permission-for-opt-config-nodebb-in-installing-with-dockerlooker But I have not found any solution.

Do you have any other problems with your Docker install? For example NodeBB can show all users IPs as localhost if server ports are blocked (communication between Docker app and host machine).

It worked OK and stopped working?
