When using nodebb installation, do you recommend using postgres? Or do you recommend using mongodb? Which DB is better to use among the two?
Is the database connection is customizable to connect to the postgres.
I may regret creating this topic but here goes.
If you experience a bug or other unexpected behavior while using NodeBB and its related ActivityPub integration, please post it here so it can be tracked and resolved.
No formal process as of yet, and we're still at pre-alpha so expect many things to be broken or unavailable 😅
Hi,
We have successfully deployed NodeBB on 1 machine with 3 NodeBB processes on the same machine at different and using nginx to load balance between the 3. We are using MongoDB as the database, and have also setup redis for inter-process communication.
Now we plan to add another machine to further increase user capacity. Both machines will have 3 NodeBB processes each. We have the following questions:
Do we start the NodeBB processes on the machine 2 and have the same redis server in the config so the processes can communicate? Do we set isCluster to true? How do we make a MongoDB replica? Do we add the IPs of both mongo instances in the config file of nodebb on both machines?Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

What is Best Option for Running Nodebb forever?
PM2 SystemdI would love to see a feature where one can post messages on user profiles.
For example if a user have there birthday, anyone can post happy birthday on there profile page as status updates.
The user himself can update there status as well for example sharing there images etc.

I successfully installed NodeBB using docker-compose.
Everything seems to be working as expected, but when the nodebb container starts up, NodeBB starts running. However, when I connect to bash and check its status using the CLI, it shows that NodeBB is not running, even though it actually is.
When I try to stop it, I can't. And when I try to start it using the CLI, even though I initially installed it with MongoDB, it gives an error related to postgres.
Note:
Initially I've installed NodeBB with Postgres, then I removed the container and installed with Mongo.

I normally don't make announcement topics for patch releases but 3.7.0 had a nasty memory leak issue due to our mongodb dependency.
473ff66f-5bd4-40b5-afb7-f2f11d830270-image.png
We noticed increased memory usage on our community and try.nodebb.org as well as instances hosted on https://manage.nodebb.org.
After spending some time with git bisect I narrowed it down to the mongodb dependency. Thankfully it was fixed in https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/pull/4022.
3.7.1 has this fix and 2 more bugfixes https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues?q=is%3Aclosed+milestone%3A3.7.1.
If you have upgraded to 3.7.0, you are highly encouraged to upgrade to 3.7.1.
I can't solve this problem for a long time. Please, if anyone has encountered this problem in practice, describe the steps to solve it. The forum has existed for more than a year and now has about 80 000 users. Now when active users up to 100 , we saw a 503 blue screen error.

Does anyone know what the most broadly implemented standard is for signalling that a web page has an alternative ActivityPub endpoint?
What I found online (and with @[email protected] and @[email protected]'s input) was to deliver a Link header and set a <link> tag, but it doesn't seem to work (at least with Megalodon)...

Hi,
I haven't been able to get group badges to work - I've added the group, added 2 members but nothing shows up in forum posts, the way there do here.
On the users' 'Edit Profile' page there's a 'Group Title' heading just below 'birthday' and above 'about me', but there's nothing else there. This only appears when the user is added to the group. My understanding is this is how users 'enable' their badges.
I've tried with both admin and non-admin users, and I don't have many plugins activated - just sendmail and dbsearch. Not the polling one that was causing other users problems with groups anyway.
The group is private and hidden because I want it to be invite only.
'Show badge' is enabled.
I'm on a fairly recent build, just one behind the latest I believe.
Any ideas?
Bye!
Mark
This might be useful for the user - what do people think?
A dedicated Activitypub filter in categories view0 - All posts mixed in topic listing view (current default)
1 - removes activity pubs post from listing view
2 - display only Activitypub post in listing view
Right now (I never knew this till I checked), you can alt-click (Mac) whatever grouping of categories you want listed, but when you want to just take out the non-native ActivityPub stuff, I can't see how to do this.
As I type I'm wondering maybe then perhaps a grouping feature, where a user can make their own filter groups for viewing listings might be the cool solution. However I don't want to overcomplicate anything. There is similar in Discourse and I never use it.
I do think for the UX clear differentiation actions and points need to be available to the user, espcially if blending in ActivityPub content in with native forum content.
For a fast solution this perhaps this could be handled and tucked into the "All Topic" filter button, with at leat two new options:
exclude activitypub posts show activitypub post onlyMaybe allowing that then be the users default until they change it.
Is anyone using WeChat to scan and log in? The plugin seems to be malfunctioning. Does anyone have a solution? Thx.
