@The-Worms thank you for assisting... I see you are also here due to the email digest?

Have you considered the desktop notifications plugin? That'll send push notifications to your device via your phone browser.

@Clément When you install and activate a plugin, you need to rebuild and restart your forum before the functionality is completely loaded. There's a button on the dashboard page to help you do that.

@doekia Glad to hear the upgrade was completed with minimal issues

Both domains should have A records that point to the same IP address. Nginx on the server will have:

server_name abc.com abc.net;

Both urls should load NodeBB now (though the non-canonical URL will have a socket.io error).

Edit your config.json and add:

{
  ...
  "socket.io": {
    "origins": "https://abc.com:* https://abc.net:*"
  }
  ...
}

I think it is space-separated...

There's no particular reason why an old version of NodeBB wouldn't be able to run on a newer version of Node.js.

Back up your db, and then update Node.js, and then follow the steps in https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/upgrade/

Quickstart theme doesn't specify compatibility, so that might be why you're seeing that error. Add this to the package.json

{
  "nbbpm": {
    "compatibility": "^1.11.x"
  }
}

@Per0x aiming for some time in Q2, though no definite timeline
