Is it possible to automatically update NodeBB installation from a github repo?

    @superjd10_ and I where discussing the idea of setting up an automatic workflow were we could update a github repo and it will automatically get pulled and loaded in our NodeBB installation. I was wondering if anyone here has setup such system, and if so, can you explain how you did it? Here are some questions to get started:

    • should we handle core and theme separately?
    • what about plugins?
    • is this safe to do?

    Again the idea is to push a change to a repository on github and have the installation automatically update itself to reflect that. I think we also need to reload NodeBB after each change. I think this would definitely be useful for development, but is it recommended for production?

    @ arasbm:

    There's some work being done to dockerize the install. If that doesn't do the trick for you, I expect some of the same automation will.

    Yes I have already checked it. I have found a docker image created by @nopz, this one is up-to-date. But the official docker image in not! Maybe you (nodebb) should give access to a dockerfile to allow anyone to build a nodebb docker image. EDIT I found the dockerfile, and the problem about this outdated version here. It's outdated because the dockerfile build the image with the v0.5.x version :

    FROM centos:centos7 MAINTAINER NodeBB Docker Team <[email protected]> # install main packages: RUN yum -y update ; yum clean all RUN yum -y install epel-release tar ; yum clean all RUN yum -y install wget ; yum clean all RUN yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools" RUN yum -y install nodejs git ImageMagick npm RUN yum -y install openssl openssl-devel # clone nodebb and install it RUN cd /opt ; git clone -b v0.5.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB nodebb RUN cd /opt/nodebb ; npm install # Create a nodebb volume VOLUME /opt/nodebb # Define a working directory WORKDIR /opt/nodebb # Expose ports EXPOSE 80 EXPOSE 443 EXPOSE 4567 CMD [ "node", "app.js" ]

    You should (NodeBB) update this dockerfile !

    End of the EDIT

    Now, with the nopz/nodebb image I just had a problem about plugin persistence. But the first installation is so much easier and automatic with just one docker.

    Thanks for your answer by the way 🙂

    @frissdiegurke either that or text complete can be a standalone plugin that other plugins can add stuff into.
