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
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
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 
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

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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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/
- 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
- 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
@mechanix glad you figured it out 
not sure how to fix your issue but I use nodebb-plugin-custom-homepage on my forum alongside custom static pages with no issues on v1.x.x
so it might just be easier to move to this for your homepage
here's the basic gist of my script for anyone thats curious
https://gist.github.com/phit/510563e18963a7ef5113b6c861953dd1
your site is https, but you are using http in the configs
"url":"http://board.domain.com", needs to be "url":"https://board.domain.com",
this is the part that makes the ips not show up
proxy_set_header X-Forward-Proto http;
should be either
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
or better
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
should be
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
theres some explanation for those headers here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-Proto
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For
According to this article this only affects people that didn't have an administrator password.. so it's really your own fault
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/mongodb-apocalypse-is-here-as-ransom-attacks-hit-10-000-servers/
Use strong passwords and keep your software up-to-date, assuming you did that and this was done with an exploit there is a simple fix, configure your firewall properly!
For most users there's no reason to allow access to mongo from the outside, if you need external access only allow IP's from servers that need to access it.
Oh and for the worst case that someone still gets through, do regular backups.
well the problem is your categories don't have icons, making them misaligned with the header and the rest of your site, the best fix would be hiding the image area imo
something like this
.page-categories .icon.pull-left {
display: none;
}
.page-categories .categories>li .content h2, .category>ul>li .content h2 {
margin: 0 0 0 12px;
}
now the other option would be to make the black bar smaller, by adding margin on the left, but that looks weird
ul.categories [data-cid="1"]::before, ul.categories [data-cid="1"]::before {
margin-left: 70px;
}
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:

if you still have issues post your files, obviously leaving out sensitive info and one can help you further
@vamsi-krishna said in NodeBB v1.5.2:
Im not able to update to 1.5.2
Getting a 404
https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/upgrading/index.html
assuming your footer code is something like this in a html widget
<footer id="footer" class="container footer">
<div class="copyright">
2017 MySite - powered by <a target="_blank" href="https://nodebb.org">NodeBB</a>
</div>
</footer>
then adding this to your custom css will make it sticky at the bottom
.col-sm-12.col-lg-12 .footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background: #fff;
padding-top: 7px;
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
width: 100%;
}
looks something like this
@julian https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/search?utf8=✓&q=maxcdn&type=Code
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
@arnaudw I upgraded my twemoji fork earlier today, so that should work now if you install it again
