On the dashboard click on "Create a new workspace"
On the Create a new workspace page, enter a name for the workspace. Enter https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git for "Clone from Git or Mercurial URL".
Pick "Node.js" option from the "Choose a template section" and click "Create workspace"
The workspace will be created and you will be redirected to the IDE.
If you want to use the master branch (development branch) of NodeBB then skip the next step.
Type git checkout v1.x.x in the terminal to switch to the stable version of NodeBB (use the branch for the latest stable release)
Cloud 9 workspaces have MongoDB preinstalled. You need to start it. Follow these instructions to start MongoDB
$ mkdir data
$ echo 'mongod --bind_ip=$IP --dbpath=data --nojournal --rest "$@"' > mongod
$ chmod a+x mongod
$ ./mongod &
The & in the last command lets you exit the MongoDB shell by using ctrl + c without shutting down the db
Run npm install --production to install all NodeBB dependencies
NodeBB setup will install the MongoDB dependencies when we pick mongo as the database and it requires a system module to be installed. Run this to install the module
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libkrb5-dev
Run ./nodebb setup to start the NodeBB setup
The easiest way to get the URL is to use the "Preview -> Preview running application" in the IDE menu.
This will open a browser window right next to the terminal. Copy the url from that window but do not include the / at the end. So in my case the URL is https://nodebb-pichalite1.c9users.io
Use that as the URL and press enter
press enter to accept the default secret
type mongo and press enter for which database to use (if you are using v0.9.x branch, the default will show up as redis and for master the default is mongo)
you can press enter for the rest of the DB related questions or enter the details if you have a db and user setup in mongodb
the setup will ask you for admin username, email and password... enter them
You will see this message if everything goes well...
Run ./nodebb start to start NodeBB
Use the URL entered before or click on "Preview -> Preview running application" from the menu to open NodeBB.
Login with the admin username/password you entered during the setup.
Cloud 9 freezes the workspaces frequently when you are not using them. Once you go to the IDE for your workspace, run ./mongod & to startup MongoDB and then run ./nodebb start to start NodeBB
EDIT: Looks like cloud 9 is not shutting down mongodb cleanly before going to hibernate.
If you get a exception in initAndListen: 12596 old lock file, terminating error... try this...
$ rm data/mongod.lock
$ ./mongod &
@kenygamer you don't know how to run 2 installs of NodeBB on the same server and you are offering installation and support for others for a fee?
Stop scamming people.
Built an initial version of post reactions so users can react to posts with emojis. Right now you only get to react with one of the available 3 reactions (smile, wink & rage). Most of the features are built except more emoji selections.
EDIT: updated screenshots
This plugin allows NodeBB admins to approve new users. This is achieved by creating two new user groups, one for non-approved users and one for approved users and setting the category permissions accordingly. These two groups have to be specified in the plugin settings page of ACP for this to work.
Any new user is automatically added to non-approved users group upon registration. Admins can see a list of all new users in the ACP plugin settings page and then approve the users. Once the admin approves the new user, the user is then moved from non-approved group to approved group.
npm install nodebb-plugin-newuser-approval
A plugin for NodeBB to allow admins to approve new users. - pichalite/nodebb-plugin-newuser-approval

@william.owen OK, published new plugin. You can pick which categories to post from in the ACP plugin settings page.
nodebb-plugin-slack-extended
Theme released. Paid for by NodeBB and made free for all.

NodeBB Plugin Topic Tags
When enabled adds tags to topic using the words from the topic title when the topic is created. Ignores some common words.
Use the ACP plugins page to install the plugin
or
npm i nodebb-plugin-topic-tags to install manually
This is the first iteration of the plugin and I am sure it can be improved a lot.
Post any issues on the plugins github page https://github.com/pichalite/nodebb-plugin-topic-tags
