Forum down after restart

@phenomlab ./nodebb slog just runs ./nodebb start then shows the log with tail. Nothing fancy. When you quit the command, you're just exiting tail, NodeBB isn't stopped.

The "production" equivalent of ./nodebb dev is node app. There are many ways you can set it up to run as a daemon. For instance, setting up a systemd service.

Which is probably the way to go if you're using a systemd based distro

Rock on!

@pitaj @gotwf thanks guys. Much appreciated. I'll go down this route - probably using systemd to create a service.

@PitaJ interestingly, after starting NodeBB using ./NodeBB slog, if I then execute ./NodeBB stop I get

NodeBB is already stopped.

So think it's correct to say that as far as the daemon is concerned, it's not running even though it actually is.

PitaJ

@phenomlab glad that'll work for you.

Would you mind participating in some more debug for this down the line? There's an alternative package for starting the daemon that I'm wondering might work for you.

phenomlab

@pitaj Of course. Just let me know

Any thoughts ?

Thanks

When i got that i error i used: npm install --save --legacy-peer-deps

That worked for me.

@sampo2910 thanks, although I think there is a post that mentions your have to downgrade to V6 which also worked for me.
