$ 5 per month, 768 MB RAM cheap hosting for NodeBB

meetdilip

Installed Debain 7 Wheezy.

don't forget to use nginx >= 1.3.13 (I don't know how far they did update this in debian repositories)

meetdilip

Thanks @frissdiegurke

Please check this guide : https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os/debian.html

I was planning to use this one.

frissdiegurke

The docs seem to be off at the moment but I'm sure they mention the nginx version

And in my opinion stay with debian rather than ubuntu just to make sure you don't think all of us recommend ubuntu for your use-case... Arch Linux would be awesome btw

@frissdiegurke , @Technowix ,@a_5mith

I am inside home/nodebb and I have this command to install Nodebb. Is this correct ?

git clone -b v0.5.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb

if not, which one to use ?

frissdiegurke

This is correct to use the v0.5.x branch of NodeBB (I think this is your intention ;)).
It'll download the NodeBB data which is the first step of installing NodeBB
EDIT: you can replace the nodebb at the end of your command with ./ because you're already inside the nodebb directory (as long as it's empty)

meetdilip

Thanks @frissdiegurke

meetdilip

Successfully installed. Now need to configure the domain.Where do I have to change the setting in Domain CP ?

meetdilip

Got it. Changed the A record.

I've run NodeBB on both DigitalOcean and Vultr, and Vultr is definitely faster.

meetdilip

True @luke . It is quite fast.

Scuzz

I can also vouch for kimsufi/ovh. I have been using them for a couple years now and never had an issue with them.

They are charging me more at the moment, they went through some prices changes and I am still paying the old price which is more than what it is now. I'm going to cancel my current server and get the better one for the same price when im due for a renewal.

Other than that they have been great.

Good for seedboxes too

Has this forum turned into a VPS refcode feast?

If someone wants to sign up due to a recommendation of a forum member on here. Then that forum member should be paid for that recommendation.

Also check my sig for Digital Ocean referal code.

Haha.. yeah, I've noticed that many here have DO affiliate refcodes in their signatures.
That's why I asked.

They're becoming over saturated these days. So they're less effective now as they were. I've had mine in my sig for about 4 months. But Digital Oceans referral is a bit strange, they need to spend $25 before I receive $25. So can take up to about 5 months before I see any returns.

Ahh.. cool.

But at the same time, with all the support I offer that I'm unpaid for, it seems like a fair compromise. Imo of course.

Thought we were paying you with cat pictures, and heroic feats like getting the emoji plugin disabled
