FWIW I use /opt as well for third-party apps. NodeBB, I install in my home directory, but again, it is mostly down to preference. If you install in /opt, you could always change the ownership of /opt/nodebb to something like nobody:nobody, and ensure it's run unprivileged...

I would like users to have different dashboards (content) depending on the "groups" the user has subscribed to. Also how would one go about storing additional user info in Mongo?

@countach said in "NodeBB could not connect to your Mongo database" Error: @baris thats the thing I do not get that prompt to specify the DB, it attempts to connect automatically after ./nodebb setup is executed. Could it be the authentication settings? I have security authorization enabled in my mongod.conf ... If you had an existing config.json, it will only try to fill in blanks. Try moving your config.json out of the way and running it again. It will have prompts like this... 7/7 01:07:24 [3009] - info: Now configuring mongo database: Host IP or address of your MongoDB instance (127.0.0.1) Host port of your MongoDB instance (27017) MongoDB username Password of your MongoDB database

@pichalite Thanks Rookie mistake by me

No they return the score of the value. db.sortedSetScore(set, data.name, function(err, score) { console.log(score); });

This is my actual users set up. > show users; { "_id" : "admin.super", "user" : "super", "db" : "admin", "roles" : [ { "role" : "root", "db" : "admin" } ] } { "_id" : "admin.nodebb", "user" : "nodebb", "db" : "admin", "roles" : [ { "role" : "clusterMonitor", "db" : "admin" } ] } > use nodebb switched to db nodebb > show users; { "_id" : "nodebb.nodebb", "user" : "nodebb", "db" : "nodebb", "roles" : [ { "role" : "clusterMonitor", "db" : "admin" }, { "role" : "readWrite", "db" : "nodebb" } ] }

@baris Yes, this is on latest. if I configure only mongo, it's works
