Hello Guys!

I was trying to get Apache2 to work as a proxy. Finally I did it but I have had a few issues:

first It wasn't reachable at all then Images just fetched still in HTTP suddenly I had problems with WebSockets, they didn't work with this fixed: login wasn't working anymore with this fixed I wasn't able to use https:// in my config.json .. and so on and so an

I struggled about 3 hours to get it work. Now my NodeBB-instance is running under the hood of Apache2 - delivered by a subdomain. Everything is working. So I just want to share my Apache2 configuration so that you do not have to struggle with the same things.

Apache2 configuration:

<IfModule mod_proxy.c> ProxyPass /.well-known/acme-challenge ! </IfModule> Alias /.well-known/acme-challenge /home/dogs/www/.well-known/acme-challenge ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:4567/ ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:4567/ # Required for websockets RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:UPGRADE} ^WebSocket$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP:CONNECTION} ^Upgrade$ [NC] RewriteRule .* ws://localhost:4567%{REQUEST_URI} [P] # Required to tell its external port RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Port "443" RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"

Maybe you can remove

Alias /.well-known/acme-challenge /home/dogs/www/.well-known/acme-challenge or change it to another path! 🙂

For SSL-Encryption you can simply use certbot or whatever. Apache2 is still fully customizable and only works as a reverse proxy.

Bye bye

@baris yeah it's true, but you can use transaction on a multicluster with only one node, also if with a lot of limitations.
About your command example is a good idea also if it would work only with redis and postgre, with mongodb can be used like a normal batch.

I took a look to postgreSQL module, seems it support transactions, mongodb emulate the same thing with non ACID batch. I prefer to avoid SQL databases but the way data is organized seem more suitable to a relational DB

Oh nice, have you any traffic Spikes tested? How would you scale if you need to? 1 extra Server with the same specs?

Open an issue on Github, please. We can more easily track things there.

It depends on how active your forum is... this forum only uses about 130mb for MongoDB, although there's a bit more taken up due to backups, etc.

Moving from one host to another is fine... just save the database (via mongodump) and the contents of public/uploads

@pitaj said:

@Master-Antonio add your domain in the config.json file which sits in the NodeBB main directory.

Did, but don't work.

i`ve tried to install this plugin, but dosent show in widgets... what the problem can be?
