Hi
I m currently following these two links
Configuring Database
Setting Up NodeBB on Digital Ocean

Is there anything else that I need to follow to host NodeBB on digital ocean with mongodb as database?
I m reading through the NodeBB docs and following the links by order but was wondering is there anything else that I need to know about?
And the digital ocean guide is 2 years old and wondering if there's changes in things that I m not aware of.

Thank you

Both open and free. You can run it on premises, host it yourself, whatever you like.

The recommended method of sharing sessions between two separate and distinct applications is through OAuth2. We recommend this approach because NodeBB maintains its own user records, so that we can keep track of user-related metrics and other data. Relying on another database would be tricky, prone to breaking, and quite possibly dangerous.

Luckily, it's quite straightforward to get things working with OAuth2!

The first step is getting your application to expose an OAuth2 endpoint. If you're running a Node.js based app, you can use a module called OAuth2orize.

Once that is set up, you'll want to take a look at the SSO plugin skeleton for customised OAuth deployments -- nodebb-plugin-sso-oauth. You'll take this plugin, fork it, and modify it to communicate with your OAuth endpoint.

Once everything is working properly, you should be able to register and log in/out via your web app.

Thanks for the insight @aixnr! We still recommend redis as the default storage engine, especially for small forums, as it was what NodeBB was originally built against. MongoDB is supported just as well as Redis, so there is no fear of it ever being deprecated or considered a second-class citizen when it comes to support.

As for those stats you were asking about:
