@PitaJ @3rd-Party-Developers

After this config:
location ~ ^/assets/(.*) {
root /var/www/html/nodebb/;
try_files /build/public/$1 /public/$1 @nodebb;
types {
application/javascript jst;
text/css css;
}
}

I am getting these issues:

Any help would be appreciated , my forum is down until i solve this problem

after using nodebb a lot , i strongly feel that users needs few features while writing a post using nodebb editor.

1. Title leading a Sub-Title
2. Heading - h1-h6
3. blockquote

@administrator @developer

I need to know which library or approch is best for managing background services in nodejs.

Awesome

cheers Congratulations - NodeBB

insecure web-sockets doesn't work with secure network(https)
Nginx

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.

I am writing an article on NodeBB deployment that will guide you

RAM issue NPM common issue , for solving this use add swap

@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
https://nodebb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/scaling/index.html

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.

Thanks , As a member of third party developer i will assist you here, need clarification so that i can help you
