Running the forum after restarting the computer

[Thmhe]

Hi thanks people..
I opened the terminal, typed

cd nodebb

and then clicked on

./nodebb start

and my forum started working..
How do I make the forum turn on automatically every time I open the computer?

@Thmhe The hack way:

crontab -e

Then add:

@reboot cd /path/to/forum && ./nodebb start

and save.
Or you would create a systemd file, but if all you need is a restart after a server restart it will work

@josef Where do I register all these commands?
in cmd?
and thank you!

[josef]

@Thmhe Oh... I didn't notice it's Windows, there's no crontab there
You can use the Windows Task Scheduler to do something similar

[Thmhe]

@josef How do I do this with the task scheduler?

@Thmhe

In Trigger, select "When the computer starts"
And in Start a Program write the path to the nodebb.bat file, and add a "start" argument

@josef said in Running the forum after restarting the computer:

nodebb.bat

?What I need to write in the program is

nodebb.bat

How should I proceed from here?

[josef]

@Thmhe It is better to write the full path to the file

[Thmhe]

@josef I edited my previous post
I set a good task to open the nodebb file but the forum does not turn on..
The nodebb file does not activate the forum.
It seems to me that you need a direct command from cmd to turn on the forum..

@Thmhe don't you need to add start into optional arguments?

[Thmhe]

In conclusion
If I'm in Windows, is there a way to load the forum every time I restart the computer?
Through task scheduling failed
Is there another way?
