Hello,

I am maybe planning to deploy NodeBB with a Docker image into Zeit Now service for free. Regarding the NodeBB connection with the database (MongoDB/Redis), Zeit Now recommends always running the database externally (in my case would be MongoDB Atlas), as I also think it should be. So, is that possible? Can I link or connect the deployed Docker image with an external database? I think the NodeBB Docker image includes the database itself, no? It is all integrated. So this won't work fine.

Can anyone explain me how it works exactly? I am new in cloud deployment and Docker/Kubernetes containerization. I am used to DigitalOcean Linux Virtual Machine (VPS Web Hosting).

Any help, please? I am still having this problem. Thank you!

Hello,

Currently I am deploying with Git Hooks into the virtual machine of my web hosting. The last commands I've included in the automated deployment are:

cd /home/nestor/nodebb
./nodebb stop
./nodebb start

Once restarted, the last command start does not finish, I mean, the command line is not available after that, but the start seems to have been worked completely. Why is this happening? Why it seems like such command is never finished? If I introduce manually such commands they work good, fast, but if done automated with Git Hooks, then that happens.

Hello,

I just want to know if a blog section and/or a forum section would be suitable for a website destined as a professional portfolio.
For example, a portfolio website maybe should never include a section about news or sports, as well as it should always include a section about the personal CV, but I don't know if a blog or a forum are ideal or convenient for the portfolio purpose.

Hello,

Is there any official more correct (or recommended) configuration for Nginx in order to run NodeBB taking into account I am running it over SSL? In particular I am referring to the directives that go inside the location block:

location /forum/ {
  [...]
}

I noticed that the following line is mandatory in order it to work (to pass the required data to NodeBB):

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

As announced in this link: https://blog.nodebb.org/nodebb-v1-1-0-release/

Please, I just want the mandatory directives in order it to work properly, and not all the possible directives that may exist.

Hello,

In order to connect to the MongoDB of my VPS by means of MongoDB Community Compass installed on my PC, I need to provide authentication: username, password and authentication database. Which credentials may I set here? The username admin and the authentication database admin, or the username nodebb and the authentication database nodebb? Also, what must I do with the connection configuration options "SRV Record", "Read Preference" and "SSL"? May I set something here?
