@Flemming-Hansen said in Memory (MongoDB):
Agree, but D.O. does not reccomend swap on their SSDs, due to to hardware degradation...
Maybe not such an issue with my low usage?Just discovered
#define ENOMEM 12 /* Out of memory */
If you're concerned about hardware degradation, set up swap and set the swapiness value to 1! Then no process will get out of memory while no swap will be used if it is not needed.
What did you try already?
You should install NodeJS first from www.nodejs.org
Install mongo or redis, depending on which one you would like to use. If you use a hosted service for those, then skip this step.
Then download NodeBB from github. I'd recommend to use GIT for that, but you can also just download the .zip in the releases folder.
If you use the ZIP: unpack in the folder you'd like to use it in.
If you use GIT: then you're ok now
Go to the folder you've got the NodeJS system files. Open command prompt in this folder.
Type "npm install"
Wait until everything is installed. If it fails, check if you've got the correct building tools installed to your OS (it should be if you're using windows 2008 I thought)
Type "nodebb setup", enter the details
If you're done, do "nodebb start" and nodebb starts 
Next: in production you would like to set up a reverse proxy. Check docs.nodebb.org how to do this with windows IIS
Do you want a redirect to that page or do you want to keep the navigation bar?
In the first case: on the ACP you can change the navigation bar.
In the second case: there is a plugin that provides custom routes. I don't know the name but i can look it up!
I think it's related to this change: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/aac0313f2eb87123347c5925a134adcd57fb869e
In here the universally slashes are replaced by OS defaults which seems to cause the windows related errors. I'll check out later if there is no similar open issue and otherwise I'll open one.
@kenygamer That doesn't make sense to me. Servers with more resources are more cost-efficient than servers with less resources, just because the administrative costs are lots higher for cheaper servers...
@MBFTOM You've installed it at the wrong location. It's installed in your root directory, whereas you should install it in the directory of the NodeBB installation (that is, where the starter script is also located). When you run "npm install [pluginname]" there, it'll work 
Good luck!
As far as I know there is no eCommerce module for NodeBB.

@JasperNL said in Emoji in Username:
Usernames aren't limited to ASCII, as you can also register Chinese usernames (for instance, try ä½ å¥½ ). I suppose it's possible to register usernames containing emoji unicode characters (
). However, these usernames cannot be registered. The form disallows the use of these characters, and maybe there are also server-sided checks. In order to allow these characters, removing the checks (unsafe) or adding emoji characters to the checks (safe) from the source code would suffice.
But keep in mind that the character
You can start with tweaking the client-sided script:
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/public/src/client/register.js
The function you will need to tweak is validateUsername. The problem with unicode emoji appears to be that utils.slugify does not seem to allow those characters. I think it's best to start with tweaking utils.slugify. You can find that in this file, line 77.

@julian said in Error during WebSocket handshake:
@Yokokoyo Not 100% sure if CloudFlare proxy or rocket loader works with NodeBB. Please disable it (grey clouds) and try to see if this issue is resolved?
I can stand for it that the cloudflare websocket proxy works fine with NodeBB. I'm using the free plan and it states that the volume of concurrent connections is low, but it didn't run in troubles.
However, disabling cloudflare protection by enabling the grey cloud is a great way to troubleshoot
Check OpenShift. They have a free tier offering 512MB RAM and 1GB storage. On the NodeBB docs there's an explanation on this.
@Bruce-Lee The idea of a managed solution is that you do not need to worry about anything. Technical issues such as bandwidth and hardware specifications are dealt with by the hosting party. They are responsible for running things smoothly, as long as you're within the plan (i.e. your plan matches the monthly pageviews requirement).
Of course asking for technical detials is valid; in that case consult the answer above.
If you want to do this with adsense, there is a plugin for this! https://github.com/dovydaskukalis/nodebb-plugin-google-adsense . I'm not sure if this provides it as a widget, though.
Maybe there are also other plugins for other ad providers.
@brophy Cool to see another MTA community here 
@AOKP said in Are the docker builds no longer maintained?:
To be honest, I do not really get the benefit of Docker for NodeBB.
To be honest, I do not really get the benefit of Docker at all. In my opinion containerizing everything makes everything less well maintainable. I have the feeling that I lose the control over what I am actually deploying, at least
Create your own theme based on nodebb-theme-persona by making a copy of it. Give it a suitable name. Remove the classes visible-xs-inline from /templates/partials/menu.tpl in your theme folder. That does the job
As far as I know only ~/public/uploads. I'm not sure if that's still needed when using the imgur plugin.
This'd been discussed many times before on this forum, so you may look at other topics for a reference.
I've personally only used MongoDB, but my forum is quite low on traffic, and I'd like to spare RAM for other things on my server
I remember @julian said that they use redis on this forum, but that they would certainly use mongodb + redis caching if they would do it over.
