NodeBB with Docker full chain ( nginx, redis, mongodb )

qgp9

I could successfully migrate my old nodebb system to a dockrized chain.
It was ubuntu based and I got some troubles with nginx configurations and ssl keys from letsencrypt, but in the end every things are fine now without large modifications from my orignal github repo.

If some body needs/wants, I'll post it and also update the github repo.

UPDATE

A MongoDB is added as a default DB !!!
And redis is intened to be used for websock blabla, but I'm not sure it's properly working.

What I know actually, no errors, no warnings and I can see both of mongo and redis at admin web UI.

If anybody would try this docker chain, please let me know results.

Hi! I tried installing your docker container. After executing the instruction "./bin/docker-compose up" I put the nodebb setting in my browser, but then I got one of these errors in the terminal where I ran the docker-container:
error: Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379
or
error: NodeBB could not connect to your Mongo database. Mongo returned the following error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017

One of full logs:

I tried you repo, but unfortunately the Mongo container fails:

mongodb_1  | Error relocating /usr/bin/mongod: _ZNK5boost16re_detail_10600031cpp_regex_traits_implementationIcE17transform_primaryEPKcS4_: symbol not found

mongodb_1  | Error relocating /usr/bin/mongod: _ZNK5boost16re_detail_10600031cpp_regex_traits_implementationIcE9transformEPKcS4_: symbol not found

nodebbdockerdev_mongodb_1 exited with code 127

Searching StackOverflow it seems this is an issue with Mongo on Alpine...

(I using Docker beta for MacOS, but I don't think this is the issue)

When Running the first config command it failes like:

$ ./bin/com-nodebb npm install

ERROR: oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused "exec: \"npm\": executable file not found in $PATH"

Is that normal ?

ficofer

@qgp9 Any idea about that ^^

PitaJ

npm either isn't installed or is installed incorrectly.

I try to this docker chain, and got some error after exec sudo ./bin/com-nodebb npm install:

Successfully built ee060087bd12

and idea?

Don't use sudo. What tutorial or guide are you using?

alphaGao

@pitaj just follow you guide, if without sudo, I may not have permission to exec this command , you had suggest?

PitaJ

@alphagao link me whatever guide you're using. If you don't know what to do, use this guide:
