I tried to be as concise as possible... let me know if anything is even slightly confusing and I'll try to fix it up:)

Looks great.. The command line reminds me of DOS from back in the day but I'm 20+ years removed from that now lol.. I'm going to give it a go during the week and will post up a thread with my experience / results here for the rest to enjoy / laugh at / etc..

BTW I was digging around Hostgator support and found this link: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/lets-get-started/how-do-i-get-and-use-ssh-access

You can enable shell access on your own through your online account. I'm going to try that first so if it works I can provide an addendum for your guide to help people with this shared hosting solution. If it doesn't work, I'm going to Digital Ocean.

Just finished going through the guide front to back and feel completely comfortable with it all.. Really just a lack of 'being in the game' on my part more than anything and not knowing the new commands but the principals are all the same really. Get services up and running, access them, then once running admin via web, etc..

I'd like to see people at my level or below able to utilize this forum so I'm all-in for helping the cause from the end-user perspective.

great!

the latest code as of last night had a breaking issue with themes (we just released the first version of our theme manager)

so if you're half way through installing, just run

git pull

npm install

at the very end, to update to the latest code.

Hoping to install tomorrow. Family stuff the past few days keeping me away from the computer more than usual. Just time for emails and quick forum scans. I'll be back in action tomorrow/weds to get this cracking.

good luck

Hi guys, i'm new here.

Why can't install nodebb on shared host?, I have a shared hosting account (with cloudlinux) and i can install perfectly Ghost from softacolous

I really like nodebb , but do not want to invest time in managing a virtual server.

I installed an earlier version on a shared host.

@Dehbuff If you have access to the shell, you can install NodeBB (as long as the dependent software is installed: MongoDB, Node.js)
