Running NodeBB - NodeBB Documentation

ok but the issue is this... I'm on Windows. Using the bash integrated shell. I got nodebb running on another drive then windows self.

I use wamp server and its in the WWW folder in a nodebb folder...

J:\wamp64\www\NodeBB

how am I supposed to define the path when the linux kernel is hosted here=

C:\Users\gamer\AppData\Local\Lxss\rootfs

then how do I define this=:
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/nodebb
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env node loader.js --no-silent --no-daemon

I've done some reading on the start levels 1 2 3 4 5 but could someone just point me to the command I should run or script I should create?
I've already done the following: https://askubuntu.com/questions/61503/how-to-start-mongodb-server-on-system-start

@pitaj I did that I get now: http://nodebb.favoritesites.net/

It does still show up my forum at http://nodebb.favoritesites.net:4567/

the file contents was: https://pastebin.com/LKX3wejk

NginX - NodeBB Documentation

Well nice! I've instaled nginx but not sure how to get the result with what to edit or do... Can you give me instructoins?

Hey is it possible before or after install to make it just run http://nodebb.domain.net/admin/settings/general

@teh_g said in Help me out with installing nodeBB on Digital Ocean:

@maxpen I'd just follow the instructions for your OS in the NodeBB docs: https://docs.nodebb.org/

There isn't going to be a difference between Ubuntu and Ubuntu hosted on DigitalOcean.

I've followed that guide several times as well: https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/ubuntu/

I'll try it again rn.

Wow lol I'm now finally past that issue. Its doing the final step of the install.

I've been at this for hours... I've managed to install Discourse but nodebb no no no lol

For some reason I'm cursed. I'm also new at this but I follow every guide to the letter...

I tried: https://www.blogsynthesis.com/install-nodebb-on-digitalocean/

and https://community.nodebb.org/topic/6816/installing-nodebb-on-digital-ocean-0-8v/4

and maybe some other guide too, I can't even remember now.

I just need someone who knows this stuff to tell me at what point I'm doing stuff wrong. I really cannot figure this out on my own or with Google... Already been at this for hours.

A good step by step guide is what I need. I followed the discourse install guide and I succeeded at that. Means it was good and not outdated. :octocat: )
