@volanar the great thing is NodeBB is search agnostic! You can use whatever search engine you want as long as there is a plugin for it.

Which... For typesense and meilisearch there is not, yet.

I agree, Solr is pretty bad. I made the plugin and it functioned well enough at first, but it is still pretty bad.

Have you tried the dbsearch plugin? I am not sure if support is better on Mongo+dbsearch.

I am open to different search products, happy to consider making a plugin for something like Algolia (although that is a paid service)... maybe Typesense?

@thahnhbh what you want privacy wise and what you want SEO-wise is incongruent... If the category is not available to regular users, then if it is indexed then the content is no longer private, no?

Hi @phenomlab — sorry about the delay, it has been released now.

Hi @Normando — v2.0.1 contained a security patch only, so the items tagged as v2.0.1 are as yet not included.

The next version that will contain those are v2.1.0 and we are targeting a Wednesday launch.

My apologies for the mix-up! I will re-milestone those issues now.

@gotwf The reason why we went with DigitalOcean (or Linode, or Hetzner, or any other "VPS as a service" offering) is because I explicitly don't want to handle bare-metal servers.

There are significant cost-savings to be had, but at the same time, if things go belly-up on a Sunday at 3 in the morning, who gets paged? Me!

On the other hand, using DO give us significant cost savings compared to if we had built our infrastructure on Heroku, GCP, AWS Lambda, etc...

On the latter point, I haven't actually done the math, so maybe a deployment on Lambda could end up being more cost effective, so who knows.

All I know is I also like shell access

@omega said in Why hosted NodeBB is so expensive?:

$5 p/month

Digital Ocean has $4/mo droplet now

... but I cannot guarantee NodeBB will successfully build its webpack payload on such a small droplet.

@Nipun-Kataria via a plugin, yes. There are hooks for you to add meta tags to specific pages.

@Neeru-Gupta this is something you'd have to take up with the FusionAuth people directly as they maintain the plugin

@jerrileeh Might just end up playing around with a Raspberry Pi camera
