How do I make NodeBB run on port 80? (Noob)

Remy Moreland

Hey all,

(prepare yourself for a large amount of noobiness)

I'm currently running a test NodeBB forum on a Microsoft Azure B0 instance (shared core, 768MB RAM) with Ubuntu. I host a small gaming community with about 50 members.

I have put in a mailer plugin, and when I get a verification email, it sends me to (localhost:4567) instead of (droidbotgaming.ga), due to the setup that I have with my firewall (traffic on 4567tcp comes out on 80tcp instead).
When I configure config.json with port 80, it doesn't allow me to access it with port 80 tcp forwarded.

My config.json: http://pastebin.com/ufPzdkEr

Thanks,
Remy

I just forward requests to 80 to port 4567 with iptables.

Use apache or nginx.

For Azure, perhaps this helps?

Otherwise, our standard point of reference: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/configuring/proxies.html
