This is a really fantastic tutorial!

Let me just add an tip for NodeBB.

git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
cd letsencrypt
./letsencrypt-auto --help
./letsencrypt-auto certonly --webroot -w /home/web/mysite.com/public_html -d mysite.com -d www.mysite.com

Here a best place for -w will be nodebb/public.

./letsencrypt-auto certonly --webroot -w /<Your_NodeBB_Directory>/public -d mysite.com -d www.mysite.com

NodeBB will server a file which letsencrypt put locally into the public directory.
( Of course I assume that one has set a web server correctly and the forum is accessable from internet )

@qgp9 I do not advice doing that. Not that it is wrong, but as we are using this on the whole site and NodeBB is in the above case installed in a sub folder, I would put it into public_html, which is our main directory, but in the end it depends on your overall folder structure anyway. Yet I need to mention that putting the .well_known folder somewhere else requires an additional edit in the NGINX config.

@AOKP I understand your points but like this forum, I believe usually people use the NodeBB with a root of a url and it is actually where a letsencrypt server checks.
( Even, from NodeBB document ( maybe ), serving of NodeBB with subfolder is not well tested or considered ( again even though I'm doing it ))

Now, if NodeBB is serving a root folder, that means public_html doesn't work.
Of course, one can unlink a proxy to NodeBB and restart a websever to serve public_html and get a certificate and re-link a proxy and restart webserver but it's complicate.

Nevertheless , I totally understand and mostly agree your points and way.

If one serves NodeBB with sub-folder, what I said is just a bullshit. agree.
with root, there are pros and cons and I fully accepts benefit of that complicate but clean way. mostly agree

The quality of tutorials as of late created in this new category has been outstanding. Good work

@psychobunny its the best you can get out of markdown. Actually I would have liked to use the first post as "index table" instead. And reserve myself the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th post for the instructions instead.

Just as a general note:
The composer is buggy, when having a preview picture of the URL. In general I would remove the preview picture as the favicon preview is already nice enough.

Giving this a bump.

Anyone up for Tengine?

this is a great article,
what about varnish cache ?

Why would you use 2 databses? ( Mariadb & Mongodb) How would they be used?

AOKP

@AnthonyM this article was designed for an actual website with a CMS in front. Imagine if you want to use Ghost. Of course you can use it without MariaDB, but that would be BS.

News?
Great Guide.
Can you update the guide with the commands updated (with the new versions of softwares) and improvments ?
Thanks a lot.

@master-antonio sorry if I read this after such a long time. But why not? Lets see how well Markdown can be used for docs.
