General Discussion

@Giggiux said in General idea about scaling out: @scottalanmiller I would like to scale out for two reasons: two single vCore VPS are much cheaper than a single two core VPS. I'd like to have auto-scaling at a certain point But I'm not even close to your numbers. At the moment I cannot handle more than 30 perfectly simultaneous connections without giving a lot of 503: [image: FHHOB7G.png] (users are 50 at maximum, hits/s 25) If it's not a big problem can you tell me what your configuration is? Using a shared hard drive is cheaper than S3 ^^'. Unluckily I cannot afford performant/nice stuff all the year since there are months that my site have 50k views/day, others that have 2k. Adsense doesn't make me earn enough ^^' And do you use the free CloudFlare plan? We use Linode and have an 8GB RAM plan. No way to scale out and be as fast or cost effective.

@PitaJ yes. that's it. thx!

Is it possible to set user reputation via the write API? Alternatively, it is possible to bypass posting restrictions when posting via the write API?

@julian said in Time for update to 1.4.3!: We've tried to limit breaking changes to the develop branch, so 1.4.3 should work with minimal problems Upgraded two sites today with no issues. One was on 1.4.0 and the other was 1.2.0.

I would like to make my NodeBB forum to write a cookie when the I found the function that is executed when user is logged in successfully: authenticationController.onSuccessfulLogin. How to make this function also to write a cookie? I tried to guess, but it did not work: req.cookie('loggedin', '1'); res.cookie('loggedin', '1'); Also I would like this cookie to be removed when the user is not logged in. I need this cookie in order to make another layer of caching (for non-logged in users) using Nginx and to test how it will work. Is it possible this to be made by a plugin?

Hi guys, I absolute want to migrate one of my forum to NodeBB but I'm looking for a theme which looks like a forum and not what it looks now like "latests posts" on the index page even if it doesn't look bad but not my cup of tea. Is there any theme which corresponds to my needs or a custom theme is the best solution in this case? I don't know if it exists but a vertical postbit looks awesome and what about another header because the one by default looks tiny? Thanks boys!

@PitaJ thanks for your reply. We're actually wondering about the following feature: "Send an email when someone reply to my reply" Is that already available?

@CCob I think we can add in a client-side hook that fires when wrapImagesInLinks completes, would that help?

@pichalite said in Quick Reply function: @MJ enable it in Persona settings in ACP. found it [image: GVQ1cOc.png] It's beautifull, thanks

@PitaJ Thanks for your patience in dealing with this problem.

I use mongo so I have to follow a different approach to unlock my account launch your mongo cli, switch to the nodebb db and run db.objects.remove({"_key":"lockout:YOUR_UID"}) uid is usually 1 for admin If you don't know what your uid is you can run db.objects.remove({"_key": { $regex: /lockout:.*/ }}) to unlock all locked accounts Becareful when doing this as I'm not sure if it would have any other side effects I'm not aware of. It's only meant to be a quick way restore order if you keep locking yourself out during dev

Added: Suggestion: cookie "loggedin" when the visitor is logged in (and deleting the same cookie when visitor is logged out)

@ChrisKey no

What I see as beneficial is a core feature (or a plugin I supposed) that exposes the database (read-only -- either Redis or Mongodb) keys in such a way that an administrator could create his own search queries with desired results. I envision a picker of the thing that can be searched, a way to filter the results and then a picker on what fields should be displayed. Does something like this exist? @PitaJ

With all respect to the topic, the wekeast point of NodeBB is its unfriendly monetization options for webmasters, which keeps several people away from it. Missing app support is also something to mention, but for most webmasters money goes first.

See here after posting a post "geolocation" button in dropdown. How/where can i enable it? Is this a plugin? many thanx..

@PitaJ Thank you for your time

@roy.miller how much memory does your DO droplet have? It could be that the npm install is running out of memory, but that's unlikely. Try running npm ls after running npm install --production. Those npm warnings are not errors. You can ignore them.

@Mirko you can reverse proxy NodeBB through apache. The suggested solution is to use nginx, but if you already have a system using apache, you can use that instead.

It must be better to fix the requested requirement instead of migrating out of NodeBB. I this projekt and my goal is to learn more about its architecture. One problem, time ... But I will get there
