Installing NodeBB on a VPS with dependencies installed is very easy. You need to type a few commands in the terminal. The skills you would need is almost same as ability to copy paste commands from available tutorial. Try Ubuntu as OS. Good luck.
Ideas for converting a wordpress site to NodeBB?
-
I run a site called paindatabase.com, which reviews treatments for chronic pain.
In the future, I was going to implement NodeBB as the commenting system, but thought...why not just convert the whole site over from wordpress to NodeBB?
Of course I have no idea how to do this, and don't know if it would be a terrible mistake.
Basically I'd want one of the columns in the topic list to be the grade rating of each pain treatment from A-F. And each thread/treatment would have a picture of the treatment instead of the original poster's avatar.
That being said, I don't know if it's possible to convert a wordpress site to NodeBB, and maintain the comments and SEO stuff.

I did start a wordpress conversion tool, however I ran into an issue and haven't touched it since. @bentael is now the main contributor on it since the import plugin was updated. I'm not 100% on if it currently works or not. But I'm sure the above mention will get him in to verify the current status.

You guys seem to be chugging along. I periodically check in on hashtalk/convoe/35 to see what the cool kids are up to.
Mines undergoing a change in a few months. Still music based, but more genres etc.
