nodebb + heroku + mongolab
-
@meh The setup creates the config. What errors are you getting when you run
./nodebb setup -
-
@meh Specifically https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/cloud/heroku.html
Although it does not have MongoLabs instruction. So here:
- Enable MongoLabs
node app --setup
- Your server name is found in your Heroku app’s “settings” page, and looks something like
adjective-noun-wxyz.herokuapp.com - Use whatever port
- Get mongo URL
- Type
mongoinstead of redis in database prompt - enter mongo info
-
@meh If the
npm installfailed, then run it again. If it continues to fail, paste the errors here. -
@meh replace that with a path to a directory in your heroku instance

Ah, clear as day ....
If you have an existing deployment with MongoLab (not created through a Heroku add-on), instructions for connecting your Heroku application to your MongoLab database are available in MongoLab’s connection documentation. Essentially, you will need to configure your MongoDB driver to use the connection URI.
I believe I have an existing deployment with MongoLab, but it is created through a Heroku add-on, so then I need a new manual just for me. Meh.

If you're incapable of figuring it out as a developer, we do offer some awesome plans that will make your life easier.
Full customer support, backups, etc all included
Of course, NodeBB is open source, and if you're nice enough someone will be happy to help you install it, as has been the case for most people who have come here asking for help.

Nah, it's just that none of the guide or manuals work. I have to figure it all out by myself.
It's also quite some change from eg. Wordpress, where you have a 1-click or 3–minute web launcher. I'm very unfamiliar with having to install 5–6 types of new software on my laptop just in order to set up a web–only forum. Doesn't seem to be necessary, really.

You seem to be taking a very negative stance on NodeBB based on your inability to install it. Most (infact, near all) people on this board have managed to install NodeBB perfectly fine.
Also, cut the developers (and us) some slack. NodeBB is free, open source software, and you come to the forums acting like you're entitled to immediate help. If you want to get it to work, please provide error logs where they appear, else we can't help. Please reconsider your attitude, and provide some error logs. Once you've got those things down, we can help you fix your problem(s) in regards to installing NodeBB.

Or if you really want get it set up in the meantime, use it with redis, like the docs suggest
-
The best method to get on with your way is to detail every step you've taken (along with the log output from that step)
This way we can look at ex. Step 3 and go "aha! That's where it broke" etc.
