for the record for people finding this via search, for apache2 you have to set this somewhere in your nodebb vhost configuration
with ssl

RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"

without ssl

RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "http"

you might have to enable mod_headers to do so!

a small modded minecraft server community at https://forums.stonebound.net/

mostly stock plugins and some custom css, so far really happy with nodebb after migrating from a private subreddit

make someone mention you on the forum or anything that gives you a notification, then click read all
worked for me last time I ran into this, I'd be curious to know what causes this though

pretty much needed if you want a usable search
nodebb-plugin-solr

this one is great if you want to have any kind of announcement/blog page
nodebb-plugin-featured-topics-extended

two other plugins that made me choose nodebb over a different forum software
nodebb-plugin-newsletter
nodebb-plugin-minecraft-integration

tldr @yariplus

system groups are automatically assigned, or have special privileges that can't be achieved with "normal" groups
the first two can't be given manually

guest - as the name says, everyone who is not logged in
registered-users - everyone who is logged in
administrators - has access to the admin control panel

and this one is pretty new
Global Moderators - has moderate access for all categories without having to set it for each category

recent page auto updates, same for the recent posts and topics widget

an option to turn that off in favor of local css would be nice, and would also improve performance when http/2 is in use

Hello @modi,

I'll try to answer some of your questions, I'm pretty new to the node environment aswell so here is what I learned so far

1. With another forum software (php + mysql based) we have next logic of backups:

• mysqldump database of the forum
• copy forum files
• upload somewhere

both redis and mongo have dump utilities that work on a live server, for copying files it's pretty much the same as a php board though you can exclude some stuff

3. How to update forum software? Is plan below correct (as i understand):

• get though git latest commits from repo
• restart nodejs & redis?
• ?? profit ??

pretty much, this is what works for me

./nodebb stop
git checkout <current-stable-branch>
git pull
./nodebb upgrade
./nodebb start

5. How to move forum software from one server to another server? ... Are there any "url-based" problems? ...

not in the default configuration you just replace the address in the config.json with the new one

6. How to make possible select language for each user in nodebb? I mean one guy from USA, and his main language = english, some guy from russia and his main language is russian. What they must to do for switching their languages to their native?

users can change user account settings or https://community.nodebb.org/topic/8148/language-selection-at-registration-time/

7. How can i help with translations of some missing parts in nodebb? Where can i start?

https://community.nodebb.org/topic/687/help-translate-nodebb/
though i would message some admin first since I don't know the progress of being assigned to a language team

8. How to setup nginx + php-fpm & redis + nodejs on the same VPS, where:

• nginx will proxy all connections to nodejs (to make better perfomance)
• Are there will be any conflicts?

nginx reverse proxy can be found in the documentation and in various forum threads here, no conflicts if configured correctly

I left the stuff out I have no expertise in, I hope this was somewhat helpful. I'm sure someone else here can answer your remaining questions. Good luck!

run setup again and make sure you dont get any messages about not being able to connect to the database

agree on the plugin front, i know progress is needed and sometimes breakage can't be avoided, but breaking plugins multiple times a year is a good way to never develop a healthy plugin ecosystem

already cleared cache, also it seems to mess up links https://google.com

If you mean my forum logo importing over okay, not really. I looked through the source and did reupload to generate the new file. But some mail I send out for testing still wouldn't show the logo. So I removed the <!-- IF logo.src --> and hardcoded my forum logo in the template and added the title. Not sure what went wrong, but I didn't feel like debugging it. The conversion itself worked though and it made the new site-logo-x50.png.

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks, loving the new default emails in 1.6. One little complaint the Hero Image is wayyy too big at least on 1080p. I changed its height to 100px from 300px and it looks a lot better and doesn't take up 1/3 of your screen.

Tweaked a few other things for myself, but the overall redesign is a very welcome change! Keep it up. Result:

nice, I still would like to see the option to no longer rely on cdn's for css (bootswatch), fonts (google) etc.

the option to easily switch those to selfhosting would be great especially with http2

Good luck, I can totally agree with some of your reasons. If had a commercial forum with a bigger userbase, I wouldn't pick NodeBB in its current state. Don't get me wrong I enjoy using it for a hobby project, but tinkering to get basic stuff working isn't for everyone.

as a temporary solution, you could just use email

No window, so the inside is not really cleaned often.. GPU is right now really underpowered and next on my to upgrade list.

Here's the full partlist with the price at time of purchase:

exciting, as someone who blocks js on all sites by default this is great in terms on usability!
keep it up
