Why don't you do that on firewall level. If you don't want to add rules manually try fail2ban

@Giggiux yes it does.

@djcyry said:

I have tried 2 options , no results ( i have rebooted the vps , restart forum , restart redis)

Obviously the masterauth is not the one you need since that is used for the cluster. The one is needed is requirepass. After setting that password restart the redis, update your nodebb config with the redis password you set and restart it.

Just did it, you are great

@absurdsmash

First of all change the server_name for forum.mydomain.com to forum.mydomain.com and restart the nginx. Second of all please show the configuration of default and 22222 so that we can find out which is the proper config for mydomain.com.

Hello,

Is there any way I can change the e-mail notification content?

Thanks.

@Hillcow Sites-available and sites-enabed does only exist if you install the nginx from the OS repository if you install from any other repository you will only have conf.d which is a good place to put your configuration with the small change that the files in there need to end with .conf extensions.

You need to install it where you want to run nodebb.

and it starts with 2 and ends with 7 so that would give 5.

Does you droplet has internet access? Try pinging google from it to make sure that it does have internet access. From your mac try to ping your droplet gateway. If that pings that mean there is an issue inside DO network contact the support line to have them fix the network.

This looks like a new installation, so you'll have to answer a few questions about your environment before we can proceed.

Nodebb config should look like this:

{
    "url": "http://domain.com/forum",
    "secret": "somehash",
    "database": "redis",
    "redis": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "6379",
        "password": "somepass",
        "database": "0"
    }
}

Your nginx config (in case you use nginx) should look something like this:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  domain.com;

    #charset koi8-r;
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/error_log;

    location / {
	some code for /;
    }

    location ^~ /forum {
	proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
	proxy_set_header X-Nginx-Proxy true;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567;
        proxy_redirect off;

	# Socket.IO Support
	proxy_http_version 1.1;
	proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
	proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
   }
}

I am running nodebb on nginx with letsencrypt. I don't see any difference from running it directly.
