If your site contains a lot of user data such as images you may want to consider using a plugin that would offload that content to a 3rd party provider such as Imgur or Amazon S3. Plugins exist for NodeBB for both of those services.
Will nodebb start multiple workers on a multiple core server?
-
Just want to know.

Right now no. We might look into it in the future though.

@baris
So is there anyway I can use multiple processes to speed up?
Like start two processes and use the nginx to do the load balance? -
I believe we would have to change some of the code in core so you can start two instances that listen on different ports. Right now it listens on whatever is set in config.json.

@baris
Thanks a lot for the quick response.
Looking forward to that feature. -
@CalPeterWu @baris Off-hand, I know that you may be able to use
pm2to run multiple instances of NodeBB listening on the same port. You may want to give that a shot. -
So are these from the same NodeBB process? I assume that each

@Guiri Right, each
loaderinstance starts anappinstance. We may expand this so that the loader will spawn x-1app.jsinstances, where x is the number of cores. -
@julian Can you use standart NodeJS Cluster http://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html for multi-core as it seems to be a better solution. And it is better for NodeJS then use of pm2 or NginX to run on multi-cpu because of less overhead.
-
@dibu Yes, most likely would look into cluster module first before rolling my own solution
