I did get this working.
I moved the nodebb working directory to /home/nodebb/nodebb and changed ownership of that to nodebb:nodebb, now it starts up on boot as the nodebb user just fine.
Thank you all very much for the help.
回复: How to delete files that are saving on server but not in the post ?
There are some files in the \assets\uploads\
folder whose topic and replies have been delete.
I have to delete them to realize space for other files. But I don't want to delete some under-using assets.
So is there some other ways to manage assets of my nodebb?
Thank you!
There is a filter for unlinked assets that nothing is using. If it is not under there, it is in use somewhere.
