We really ought to transition it over to our SaaS services. Where do I send the bill?
And where will users find you if, god forbid something goes down? All eggs one basket and all that...
NodeBB requires at least a VPS. We have not tested installation of it on shared providers, but if they can grant you ssh access, and can install the required dependencies, then I do not see why it would not work.
also, have a look here and see if this helps:

I want to install nodeBB. I've cloned the repository and when I type "node app.js --setup" says:
Error: Cannot find module 'nconf'

What can I do?
thank you, @alexsir. It works but I have another error...

@catalin use ./nodebb setup
, not node app --setup
@catalin yes you can. You just have to create a category for each group, and change the permissions for those categories so only the respective group can access, read, and write in it.
@pitaj But can this be done automatically by an api / plugin?
I mean:
I want to put this forum on my website. On my website I will have users who will register / log in.
These users on my site, will be divided into groups.
@catalin you can automatically create nodebb accounts for accounts on your website. Look up "nodebb plugin session sharing".
Automating the rest of that though would require a custom plugin.
