What is Best Option for Running Nodebb forever?

xiyohag273

PM2
Systemd

julian

@xiyohag273 both are fine, you can also use the built in process handler (./nodebb start)

We recommend systemd

xiyohag273

When i'm using PM2 its continue try to starting app that server load going high.

xiyohag273

But with systemd it's working fine i think.

julian

@xiyohag273 you can use pm2 to manage app.js not loader.js

xiyohag273

I was use ./nodebb start to pm2.

xiyohag273

I think its good to go with Systemd.

node app.js continues try to start app. look at this log:
