That's correct, the node application will not continue running after your SSH session is terminated.

Take a look at this wiki article!

I read it, but theres anyway to make it runing without the console open?

And, like to use it without port like gippy.com.ar only

Use forever ...

• npm install forever -g
• Go to the folder where you installed NodeBB.
• Run this command: forever start app.js

Hope this helps.

Yep, that'll do it @trevor

Additionally, please read the Wiki thoroughly before asking for help. Maybe this will help you as well. It's the best starting point to answer your most simple of questions.

If you absolutely can't figure it out, then your best bet would be to ask your question here.

I get errors

Looks like you'll need to install forever:

sudo npm install -g forever

Step by step. It should be working now.

It works! i forget the sudo!! im soooo sorry.

I need to remove the ports. I read the wiki and didint find nothing

You can setup your NodeBB to use port 80, if you're on port 80 you can access the forum via the url without having a port

Either edit via

nano config.json

or run node app --setup again and configure it. In general you would need to run NodeBB via sudo to gain access to port 80, and if you have something else listening to port 80 (ex. apache) this will not work. I know that @OutlawedOffroad recently managed to figure this out!

Here's the thread with my back and forth battle with this.. I'm on CentOS 6.4 so your miles may vary:
http://try.nodebb.org/topic/282/might-as-well-add-another-cog-to-my-plan-im-on-cent-os-64

Still a work in progress. We fixed the issue then uncovered additional issues.. Once we complete it all and everything is aces I'm going to ask server support for a rundown of what they did since a lot of trial and error. Hopefully populate that Wiki link that goes nowhere with some info.
