Working Text2Speech working module available here 
https://github.com/hariom282538/nodebb-plugin-text2speech
#Text2Speech
Note: Tested env Lavender(theme) & NodeBB v1.5.1.
-> Original Plugin has some issues and didn't work with nodebb , so i forked it and solved that bug.
Hurray - HappyCoding
Thanks owner of Text2Speech merged with my code. Now, Nodebb has working plugin.
Let's fix other plugins problems , also i am going to write an article about Nodebb deployment on ubuntu with http2 , https and Nginx.
@adam-poniatowski said in Clustered nodeBB on Apache:
clustering
@Esteban-Constante
NodeBB Utilise clustering
NodeBB is a node app, kindly refer NodeBB documentation for Scalability 
otherwise run NodeBB with PM2 on cluster mode:
here is the command 
pm2 start app.js -i 0
The -i or instances option can be:
0 to spread the app across all CPUs
-1 to spread the app across all CPUs - 1
number to spread the app across number CPUs
@Esteban-Constante if you want to choose @Adam-Poniatowski methodology then use some proxy server for load balancing ex. Nginx or Ha-Proxy
@tango said in force https:
Amazon Load Balancer
Lift your nodebb app with PM2 and serve it on 443 if possible btw on 80 it's possible , no other way to reverse proxing without application server.
If you hosted everything on single EC2 instance then i personally recommend you to use Nginx along with PM2 and if you opt this option we have better answers.
after using nodebb a lot , i strongly feel that users needs few features while writing a post using nodebb editor.
insecure web-sockets doesn't work with secure network(https)
Nginx 
server {
listen 443 ssl;
ssl on;
blah blah blah...
location = /socket {
proxy_pass http://socket;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_send_timeout 1d;
proxy_read_timeout 1d;
}
}
upstream socket {
server 127.0.0.1:27960;
}
Apache
enable these modules:
mod_proxy.so
mod_proxy_wstunnel.so
Add this in VirtualHost File:
ProxyPass /wss2/ ws://domain.com:port_number/
Use this URL in your JavaSscript call when you want a WSS connection:
var ws = new WebSocket("wss:/socket_url.mydomain.org/wss2/NNN");
Note: Change domain, IP and ports as per your server configuartions.
@countach said in Clarity on NodeBB:
is the nodeBB mobile app built using nodeBB?
@countach NodeBB mobile app is basically loaded in a web-view of browser's rendering engine and it does have some advantages and limitations that you need to see.
well , For basic + robust + scalable education forum NodeBB is the best. It also provides very intuitive admin panel with robust reward system.
