NodeBB keeps disconecting

[julian]

Hi @StuartH

To complement @baris' post -- can you let us know what you were doing prior to it crashing? Perhaps you were posting a youtube or vimeo link?

If you disable the youtube and vimeo plugins, does it stop crashing?

[StuartH]

Hi no errors in the shell

[StuartH]

Hi I have not done anything at all with the site for 12 hours+ yet when I try to load it, its offline again and I have to re start in terminal.
I will disable the plugins and let you know what happens.
cheers

left it for another 5 hours and its disconected, it must be something to do with the installation but no idea what.

@StuartH -- that's pretty atypical for a NodeBB install, there are no silent error messages.

Do you have an error.log in your installation folder? That may shed some light.

[StuartH]

I have no idea how to get to the log, there is nothing on dititalocean server side available to me.

@StuartH - how are you running your NodeBB? Just navigating to the server and running "node app"?

[StuartH]

yes via terminal

In that case, if you close your SSH session, then your NodeBB goes down as well.

You'll have to use a utility like forever to keep it running indefinitely.
