Cool!

We average at around 100 online users on a 1 core 1GB Ram 30GB SSD Disk VPS (DigitaOcean).

This is a 24h chart of CPU utilization. Average at about 5%... which leaves room for much more users.

Congrats,

I feel so old now.

The NodeBB Affiliate plugin allows you to integrate some of best and most well-known affiliate programs available. You'll be able to monetise links on your forum to over 35,000 retailers.

Configuration screen:

Optional product information in posts for Ebay, Amazon, Aliexpress and Flipkart links.

You'll find more information about it below:

Recommendation

Do NOT use cloudflare (at least not the free plan) on NodeBB when you have a moderate traffic to your forum. Cloudflare seems to silently throttle the traffic resulting in very strange NodeBB behaviour (for some clients) where the simply cut websockets.

The throttled client will see a lot of popups "Looks like your connection to XXX Forum was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect."

In the ngnix error log you will also see lots of:
2017/01/25 09:56:15 [error] 13909#13909: *799654 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: xxxxxxxxxxxx.123, server: forum.mysensors.org, request: "GET /socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=xxxxx&sid=xxxxxxxxx HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:4568/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=xxxx&sid=xxxxxxx", host: "forum.mysensors.org", referrer: "https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/702/openhab-mqtt-example/2"

It has been kind of hellish to find the root cause.

I have a feature request for a optional category header [markdown] text displayed here:

Many of your categories requires some introduction and or additional information. Sticky threads just isn't good enough [people don't read them].

Like in the bug report category here on the forum, it would be nice to add a link to github issue tracker and give a short explanation on how to add a bug report.

Created my first plugin! Allows you to embed Arduino code and compile/upload it directly to an attached Arduino using the excellent codebender project.

npm install nodebb-plugin-codebender

See it in action here

It feels like nodebb is mixing two different concepts into one with groups and badges.

If they were separated I could continue to use the badge-functionality to promote our users without necessarily giving them additional rights.

It's not interesting to know which groups people have joined (at least not so interesting that it needs to be added on each and every post they do).

...or edit static css in admin and include:

.teaser {
   display:none;
}

Just bind redis to localhost. Then it's won't be accessible from the outside world.
By default redis listens to all interfaces which means all external ips (unless you have some firewall in place).

/etc/redis/redis.conf:

add
bind 127.0.0.1

Edit: Damn @julian you beat me.

Ok.. hmm , I might have missed the following answer which looks just like my problem:

Great job and congrats to the team and contributors!

Yep, we had a lot of spam account registrations 2-10 / day even with honeypot enabled.
With the new captcha solution there is zero new spam-registrations! Very happy and recommend everyone enabling it!

Doh.. setting both text/background color of category to white is NOT a good idea.

Gah.. It might be a chrome-thing? My chrome recently updated. The inspect/dev-console looks different.
I "clicked-around" a bit and now the browser shows a websocket connection again!

Yep, removed about 100 spam account registrations. Not a single post. They might just create accounts now..

conspiracy theory
...and then one day they start a massive spamming attack against all nodebb installations

@hek I'll make a couple issues on our tracker so its more visible. Welcome to the latest and greatest (and broken) master

Great. I feel welcome

Does it take several seconds to build it? Maybe caching the sitemap in memory would help? Or simply write all new topics to a static file and rebuild it at startup.
