The new community.nodebb.org theme!

Make sure to make a backup of your database in case something goes wrong.

aaron

Thanks. I've got a crontab task backing up everything to an ebs volume every hour.

OK, so I have my remote repository associated with git in my instance directory. When I do "git pull," it pulls from my bitbucket repository. How do I make it pull/integrate the latest nodebb version?

Thanks for the help!

I will let @julian answer that as he is our 'gitmeister' but I think it will be something like git remote set-url origin <nodebb-git-url>

julian

git remote add upstream [email protected]:designcreateplay/NodeBB.git

Then to get the latest changes from NodeBB: git fetch upstream

... and put them into your local master branch: git merge upstream/master master

In other words black magic.

aaron

Haha thanks

I just did that and got this error:

$ git remote add upstream [email protected]:designcreateplay/NodeBB.git
Aarons-MacBook-Air-2:old-forum aaronclaytondunn$ git fetch upstream
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

aaron

Hi again,

I'm pretty sure I'm all upgraded now and I still get the same error. My browser console gives me this error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

And the page loads but without any styling. Even reverting the theme in admin > themes doesn't work anymore. Any idea what the issue is? By the way, here are my server logs while it is running:

Please get back to me as soon as you get a chance! Thanks!

what's the output of

git describe --tags

aaron

$ git describe --tags
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

Also, just realized that the error only shows up on Google Chrome (the browser I first opened it on). No problem with Safari or Chrome Canary). What?!

bentael

caching is not working for you - something is up with your git repo. My gut says incorrect user permission.

aaron

Yup, just cleared the cache and it works fine. Thanks all.

bentael

but that wont fix it for your users, you need to investigate why ur local git repo is doing that

julian

Agreed, could be permissions...

ls -l .git, @aaron ?

aaron

Thanks in advance for the help! Here's the readout--

fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

... and I'm assuming you're logged in as ubuntu?

aaron

Yeah, logged in as ubuntu.

julian

@bentael -- may need a fallback in case git describe --tags fails, as in @aaron's case, and yours.

aaron

Haha yeah I just deleted the cache again and it started working. Is this problem going to resurface? Does it look like I have permissions set incorrectly?

Thanks!

julian

Hey @aaron, it looks like your permissions are set correctly (if you can git pull, that should be fine). You're not using sudo or anything to run NodeBB, are you?

Once the git describe command starts to work correctly, you shouldn't have any further problems with client-side script caching...

bentael

@julian it would be awesome if you can publicly share like a pre-setup Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS etc. (or whatever) DigitalOcean images, with nginx setup, correct permissions, redis/mongo dbs, oh the awesomeness, I suck at sysadmin.
oh wait, maybe i just let you host it
