Deploy nodeBB on openshift

julian

Hey @_binary_solo, sorry to have missed your IRC message!

We've never deployed to OpenShift before, do you get shell access to your gear with NodeBB running? You'll have to log in and run node app --setup

Oh, thanks for the reply! I've noticed this is somewhat of a new problem since google doesn't give any viable solutions.
Fingers crossed then! I really enjoy nodeBB and would very much like to use it in a project.

_binary_solo

@julian I've run node app --setup but it couldn't connect to mongo (even though I passed correct db name, user and password)

julian

Pinging @baris -- he's our resident Mongo expert

Are you able to connect to Mongo using the command line in your gear?

_binary_solo

@julian yeah, I can open the mongo shell through an SSH connection.

julian

Hm... is it an external host? I believe we've only tried local hosts (127.0.0.1) for Mongo. It should work though (think)

Can you paste the error?

_binary_solo

@julian
info: Configuration Saved OK
error: NodeBB could not connect to your Mongo database. Mongo returned the following error: failed to connect to [127.0.0.1:27017]

WhateverYouWant

@_binary_solo Make sure "auth" is enabled on the mongo config file.

_binary_solo

@CaioDA Sorry, but I'm still rather new to this. Where would I enable this?

WhateverYouWant

@_binary_solo I'm not quite sure on Redhat. On Ubuntu it would be /etc/mongo.conf. Maybe it is similar?

Are you successful ?

I like Nodebb and Ghost

I'd love to see a plugin that bridges their blogging platform and NodeBB discussion platform. I have no experience with Ghost though, what do you think about this @emiliendevos?

unixfox

It's difficult to make a bridge Ghost and Nodebb. And I still have not managed to install Nodebb ^^.
I do not truly master nodejs.
