Installation problem on Ubuntu (Need Help)

Hope33

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to install NodeBB for two days now. I acquired my domain name and an Ubuntu VPS, but nothing works, I can't install it. I followed some tutoriel but i'm not an expert.
I had a problem especially when installing Node JS where I was told that the version was not compatible.
The technology used here is modern and perfectly matches the type of company I work for.
I need this forum for work and I admit I don't have much time to take care of all that. Could a charitable soul help me pre-configure NodeBB via Ubuntu? I need something simple.

I thank you in advance for your help. I am available on Discord (ymacmusic) if needed, otherwise contact me here.

Have a good day

@Hope33 it sounds like perhaps you are not comfortable with the shell? NodeBB is not exactly plug and Play, although we try to make it as simple to install as possible.

If this is for work, then I a hosted NodeBB may be easiest course of action for you.

If you are looking to install it yourself, can you let us know what tutorial you used?

Ubuntu is known to have an ancient version of NodeJS, their latest LTS version of ubuntu. they are still shipping nodejs 11 or someshit.

What does the version says in your VPS?

node -v

It appear when i tap :

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/5.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-5.0.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

MangoDB is not detected after this.

@Hope33 you probably have to start it. It doesn't automatically start.

sudo systemctl enable mongod
sudo systemctl start mongod

I think it's mongod, might be wrong.

@julian "Failed to enable unit: Unit file mongod.service does not exist."

Mongo seems to be not installed.

Here a good topic for install last mongodb version for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

https://www.fosstechnix.com/how-to-install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-22-04-lts/

And the official topic I have used (work good) :

https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/

@DownPW Thanks a lot ! Now i got a problem here :

nodebb> quit()
ubuntu@vps-48fdfea9:~$ /etc/mongod.conf
-bash: /etc/mongod.conf: Permission denied
ubuntu@vps-48fdfea9:~$

When i want to follow instructions here : Enable database authorization in the MongoDB configuration file /etc/mongod.conf by appending the following lines:

Is your domain DNS settings updated to point to your server IP?

Hope33

But i don't understand this step :

The following demonstrates a typical series of commands when creating a new nginx config:

cd /etc/nginx/sites-available
sudo nano forum.example.com # config entered into file and saved
cd ../sites-enabled
sudo ln -s ../sites-available/forum.example.com

Someone can help me ?
