Test NodeBB 0.7 simulatenously?

General Discussion
  • G

    Is it possible to test the master on another domain (e.g., beta.domain.com) for my users to test out?

    I was considering cloning it into another directory, without plugins, and hooking it up to the same Redis database with a different port, and proxying the sub domain to the new version. Thoughts?

    Yeah, clone the db and copy the files. Edit configfile to beta.domain.com and change db settings

    I use Mongodb but it should be the same 😉

    Do not use 0.7.x with the same db because 0.7 trash stuff, better with a clone. You can write "this is for demo only"

    I am also waiting for 0.7.x to be stable!

    Why do you run setup again.

    1. Just copy the code to a new dir and change the config file.
    2. Make a copy of the DB
    3. Then git checkout master + ./nodebb upgrade (In the new setup)

    Dont forget to set another port if you running it on the same server

    Any experience installing/using NodeBB in a custom server?

    A custom server? We do that all the time unless "custom" means something I am unfamiliar with 😁

    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.

    So... As far as npm install I'm having issues pretty much the same here: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/540/-nodebb-theme-lavender-lavender-theme-for-nodebb/73 (at the bottom) but I'm not sure how to reinstall npm on the stack or if that would even help.

    I guess I should be developing Node.js on linux but so far I've been dual booting and I'm thinking about investing in like a Gigabyte Brix and having two monitors side by side (or even a KVM switch). I use Windows for graphics and I like Ubuntu for developing stuff and it's kind of my dream setup to begin with.

    Edit: After rolling around in bed and drinking some coffee, I manually inserted the lavender theme in the node_modules folder, removed it from the npm-shrinkwrap.json file (created a npm-shrinkwrap-backup don't worry), and tried npm install again. It seemed to work up until "github-url-fro[email protected]" saying "no repository field" as a warning. I had to ctrl-C because it was literally stuck there. Now I have a bunch of nice modules installed in the node_modules folder but I'm assuming not all of them to be able to get NodeBB up and running.
    Tl;Dr: npm is really not liking .tgz I think

    Edit 2: I screwed up the entire NodeBB installation by typing node app too early and rushing everything. I'm going to take a break and probably upgrade the Ubuntu partition I have and do everything on there. 😞

    Hmm... What's the problem you're having exactly. I've been running nodebb on a windows bitnami mean stack for a long time without any issues whatsoever. Just make sure you pick the latest BITNAMI version (sometimes they hide them in favour of older more stable releases), install git and you're off to the races 🙂

    No need -- if they're interested, I'm pretty much ready to provide and maintain the image for them.
