@scottalanmiller said in A way for clean orphaned files/images?:
@Normando I am doing it one by one, unfortunately.
Yes, it'd be nice to get some sort of automated script for cleaning up orphaned files.
Yeah, that would be cool.
I just did 38 pages by hand.
@waugh said in Hooking Up to Mail:
@julian Do you engage in a more intimate relationship with Haraka?
Niche third party platforms would be far less likely. Postfix is built into nearly all production platforms and configured out of the box for most usages (standard SMTP relay.) His point was that they don't get their hands dirty with any specific email implementation and leave that for the admins, they just send email out on whatever protocol or API is selected and the rest is up to the email admin to configure.
I might be happier with a dedicated chat application for mobile entirely. Would be a great thing to break out on its own.
This strikes me as a spam bot. Account created only to promote a different product.
@Atrexian said in Some questions :
@scottalanmiller I wanna add some page to my forum where can I upload resources and users can download them
Okay, you can do that in the forum itself, or just make a static page that's separate that people use. Lots of options.
@Atrexian said in Some questions :
Because Ive seen some prices on your main website.
Yes, those are pricing for hosting services, not for the software. If you want to hire someone to host a forum for you, that is not free. If you just want the software and plan to run it yourself, then it is completely free.
If you are not familiar with running NodeJS applications and aren't looking to learn how to, then it would be recommended to purchase hosting, for sure. If you are comfortable running your own, I suspect that the majority of users use the free version and host it themselves.
@boson_96 said in I have a query regarding the GPLv3 license of NodeBB and commercializing my final product:
If I incorporate NodeBB into my project, would I have to open-source my entire project or just the derivatives of NodeBB that I use?
Neither. What "you use" is not impacted by the GPL. What you "distribute" is when the GPL comes into effect. So you can modify the code however you like, as long as you never redistribute it, without any restrictions.
If you redistribute (commercialization is irrelevant, free or paid isn't a factor under the GPL) then any coupled code that you have is also under the GPLv3. Anything uncoupled (like via an API) can be licensed as you see fit.
@boson_96 said in I have a query regarding the GPLv3 license of NodeBB and commercializing my final product:
Does NodeBB offer a more permissive licensing option for a one-time fee to individuals and startups? (I would be self-hosting)
No, they cannot. Because the GPL is as permissive as it possible already in that scenario. It's impossible for any license to be more permissive in the scenario where you are self-hosting.
The first restrictions, of any type, on hosting come only with an Affero license, which is not the case here. So you are completely unrestricted when it comes to self hosted.
@boson_96 said in I have a query regarding the GPLv3 license of NodeBB and commercializing my final product:
Am I allowed to commercialize my project while using NodeBB? Are there any restrictions imposed on the user that I need to be aware of?
Of course, the GPL is specifically to allow and promote the commercialization of derivative works. Think about Red Hat Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora, and other products that are GPL'd, but that you can buy, and that are not the originators of the GPL'd code (or all of it.)
There are no user restrictions, that is also a key feature of the GPL.
@cregox said in Some questions :
also, to be honest, the only real reason to even get a forum today is if you're using reddit, twitter and/or facebook properly,
None of those have serious forum engines, though. They are big, but they are big because the promote noise, not communications.
@julian said in Some questions :
If he's looking for one-on-one expertise or custom dev, I'm afraid I have some bad news for him, because you'll never get that for free
It's also not part of the product. I've found that people often misunderstand "free". I had non-IT friends who once claimed that giving someone "free food" wasn't really "free" because it wasn't chewed and swallowed for them. So needing to put for the effort made it not free.
But obviously, this is bonkers. Maybe you don't even want to eat the food. The ownership of it, the item itself, is what is free. The food, in their example, is free, truly free, the moment it is given to you. You own it, and nothing was paid. That's what free means.
"Eating the food" or "operating a website" or "running a company using a product" are totally different things than "food", "software" or "product."
Like if I give you a free lightbulb, it's free. The electricity to use it in the expected way might not be free, but that's the effort and electricity that isn't free, not the lightbulb. People often confuse one item with another, or a verb used on a noun with the noun itself.
Funny.... thread after thread of this guy talking up Discourse, lying about NodeBB and while it's not proof, his avatar does seem to appear somewhere suspicious...

I take it the Discourse devs are seeing NodeBB as a major threat and their venture capital friends are pushing them to try to make the competition look bad because the product isn't drawing in the users like they'd hoped?
Half a decade later....
We don't have it either. That's too bad, that was a neat feature.
@julian said:
@scottalanmiller Are you on Redis or MongoDB? If Redis -- hope you have lots of memory on your server
Oh definitely MongoDB! We ran Redis in a lab which was fine. But we are anticipating the need to scale this to EMEA and the PacRim and needed the scalability of MongoDB
I knew that if I posted a question I'd immediately find the answer. We had removed the Markdown plugin due to warnings in the logs just to be safe and had not added it back in yet. Once we put that back, bam, images are back. Thanks!
I vote for this as well. Having participated in Spiceworks heavily for most of a decade, there are people that you want to just have go away and by ignoring them you can turn down the volume and keep people from feeding the troll without trigging the offending person to do retaliatory posting due to being banned.
