Wondering if anyone has an idea why the calendar page is accessible when not logged in while using the private forum plugin.

I'm running a private instance for my housing cooperative

@pitaj thank you, somehow I was on en-GB

I did notice that the time on this community instance is also in 24hr, so maybe it's a change in the latest nodebb?

The production instance is on 1.8.0 and the dev is just on the head of main.

how I have done this, I do not know.

I have a production instance up and the time is formatted in 24hr instead of 12. I have a development instance on my laptop which has 12hr format.

Any idea what might be causing my issue? The development instance I changed nothing, the production one of course has a number of plugins which I can share if needed.

Can you just tell me the easiest provider to use and how to setup...i do not need sendgrid as the forum is small...

Am i right in thinking it could be a port set up??

Thanks.

Shouldn't be ports. Where is it hosted, on a VPS? If so the ports shouldn't be a problem.

I use my own self hosted email without issue, starttls etc.

After switching to encypted

So probably the mail library doesn't support the tls version the server is using. But just a guess.

It could be something to do with iCloud. Have you had success with any other email?

@sampo2910 have you tried switching from start tls to encrypted? I looked up iCloud settings and saw TLS was required.

@fais3000 said in NodeBB 1.18.0 docker update:

@maxwaldorf You can try https://hub.docker.com/r/nibrev/nodebb/tags. I just used the latest image to update to 1.18.0

Here is my nodebb docker setup.

This is the image I use, although I'm not using Mongo so unsure if it works for you.

@phenomlab my mistake, I'm still on my first coffee

@phenomlab except port 25 is server to server, the plug-in will be connecting as a client over tls or starttls on port 465 or 587. So try one of those.

@sampo2910 is there nothing in the developer console of the browser? Like an error message or anything

For reference, I am using https://www.github.com/rez0n/docker-nodebb.

Currently I have the following persisted to disk:

• /data (which appears to just contain config.json, package.json and uploads/)
• the database data

I'm thinking also:

• app/public
• app/logs
• app/node_modules (for plugins etc)

Or maybe none of that is needed, I was just thinking if I had to do a full redeploy from a backup I might have to reinstall plugins and be missing user data like uploads or something.

Just looking for any extra pointers, thanks.

@baris very cool, thanks for the heads up

@nodeham oooh, that's expected. There are no posts in that category. The selector just limits what is listed in that category, and the log in to post button is usually a 'new topic' button except being not logged in you are prompted to do so.

@nodeham that part looks right, my thought was that guests might need to have the permission to 'Search Content' to see 'New Posts'. I assumed you meant the tab 'Recent Posts' and thought that it might be using search behind the scenes.

But again I'm not sure, I run mine with the private instance plugin so guests can't see anything.

@nodeham they should have privileges for viewing categories and topics by default. Maybe you need to allow searching content and/tags for that to work. But I'm just guessing.

Under Admin / Manage / Privileges > Global

@enot I got it @PitaJ, thanks for the help though.

The font name was the issue, should have been 'FontAwesome'.

@pitaj maybe I was trying the wrong font family then. I tried just 'Font Awesome' and 'Font Awesome 4'.

I'll post the CSS shortly.

@phenomlab now to get it merged
