Run NodeBB in the Docker or Kubernetes

[julian]

Wonderful!

Any idea what the difference is between our Dockerfile and the one maintained by @nilsramsperger ?

[rez0n]

Thanks!
The difference from official NodeBB Docker image:

• Support of persistent volume to store config.json, uploads, and package.json
• Support of ENV variables to initial (auto) installation
• Runs nodebb upgrade -sb on startup

In short, realized using docker best practices so the user can easily upgrade the image without data loss and issues.

The difference from the @nilsramsperger image (superficially):

• I'm realized autobuilds, in the Github and DockerHub always an actual version of stable and beta images.
• I wasn't included in any databases in the image.
• Kubernetes compatible.

PS. This test instance still alive to test how it works in the k8s.

@rez0n I works great.

But how can I access admin?

There is no information about admin password.

[rez0n]

@최우성 HI. As usually, NodeBB automatically generates admin password and echo it to the logs. You can access Docker container logs executing

docker logs nodebb

nodebb - means your container name

@rez0n It's very helpful.

Hello,
Do you have a docker-composite version of your script?

I'm not very good at it.

Thank you in advance

@mib314 Check out https://github.com/rez0n/docker-nodebb/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

@rez0n I've just setup a NodeBB instance with the provided docker-compose.yml file from your repository. I've checked the log files at /usr/src/app/logs in the nodebb image, but can't find any credentials of the admin user in the file webinstall.log.
Do you know where I can find the credentials of the created admin account?

Just playing with NodeBB, and your work has saved me a bunch of time. Thanks a lot @dstang

For the last question, if you don't have admin password, either look for it in the log, or search for "lost admin password" in this forum.

TL;DR: there is a trick of adding a regular to "administrators" group, then use this user to reset "admin" password.

@Sebastix to reset admin password run:
. /nodebb user reset 1 --pssword
