Hi. I have a tentative plan about NGINX reverse proxy. I setup NodeBB on server A and setup NGINX on server B and then users access my forum. I guess that when users request my website, HTML file is sent from A to B and then from B to user, but all other resources(images/css/js) are requested from A directly. How about this plan. Is this right? Thanks!

I would suggest to put your nodebb behind nginx, and have a location block matching static content use a proxy_pass directive pointing to your static server. Use this as reference: https://nodebb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/scaling/index.html#use-a-proxy-server-to-serve-static-assets And adjust it to have a proxy_pass http://static.example.com; instead of searching the local filesystem (ie, replace root and try_file directives) under the static content location block. I believe this should work

@Hao-Lee do you mean filtering the posts by poster?

You'll probably want NodeBB to run in the foreground, and not pipe output to the log file, if you want to use forever or upstart. node loader.js --no-silent --no-daemon will run production mode and leave output piping to stdout. It will also run in the foreground, which forever expects. If you use app.js, you won't need --no-daemon, but you'll only be running one process.

Perfecto! May I suggest that the INVITE function be available to at least admins permanently? It's an incredibly useful and powerful feature to encourage registrations, case example, if you pick up a few emails while out networking or have a mail database you'd like to use to drive users to your forum. or, maybe the plugin handles this?

@yariplus @frissdiegurke Thanks for your help ! I have read this post. Both of you are right. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/534/redis-vs-mongodb/11
