Hello all!

I've been recently looking into NodeBB and I'm now considering switching my current Discourse forum to NodeBB. Both are self hosted.

However, I haven't been able to figure out a way to do that successfully.
I've tried using https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import and https://github.com/BenLubar/nodebb-plugin-import-discourse to no avail.

I'm not well versed in SQL (Postgre or Mongo), so the instructions on https://community.nodebb.org/topic/6818/switching-from-discourse/4 are a bit challenging - especially where you need to prefix all of the table names.

If you have the time to help a beginner, I'd be grateful!

@pitaj Yes, this is why I don't understand. And I only stop the nodebb container, not the db container.

@scottalanmiller Fluentd hosts some nice configs (distilled from a presentation from a Netflix engineer about tuning their servers) https://docs.fluentd.org/v1.0/articles/before-install

Perhaps this could help? Also check out ss -s, what is TIMEWAIT?

Looks like your connection to NodeBB was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.

@pitaj

Got it figured out. Basically, you have to form a "redirect chain" kinda. I think I was creating an infinite loop of redirection or excluding a specific case (www. for 443 and for 80 separately) in my above nginx config. I ended up having to redirect 80 http://www.domain.com, 80 http://domain.com AND 443 https://www.domain.com all to 443 https://domain.com and then that third block is where all the master logic for the activity goes, if that makes sense.

In my original post, I was combining too many of these cases into just 2 blocks. In addition, I also added location / {} and wrapped that around my return 301 statements.

This fixed the problem entirely with both the domain and the forum malfunctioning. Last but not least, I wanted to mention that I also added proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; to the main logic block near the other proxy_set settings, which fixed a csrf error as well. So we're all good now!

Very exciting stuff. I appreciate the quick replies and help. Happy to use NodeBB for my new site!
