I was thinking of trying this out and deploying to Fargate. This particular one appears to be officially maintained by the nodebb guys:

(hub.docker.com)

Using this tool below I can deploy easily, and I can also manage SSL certs and load balancing (which I think will negate the need for nginx):

fargate :: A CLI for AWS Fargate

I think I would just need a mongo instance either in EC2 or as another container in Fargate, and then deploy the nodebb container. Thoughts? Am I missing something?

Has anyone tried using AWS DocumentDB in place of Mongo? It's supposed to be compatible.

Has anyone tried deploying Nodebb with the Serverless Framework in Lambda?

Right now, I have a t2.small instance running NodeBB and the MongoDB. It was on a t2.micro, but that thing doesn't have swap and when it ran out of memory, it crashed. t2.small doesn't have swap either, but it has more memory and has been stable. I'm paying about $20/mo in AWS costs, and I'm looking to reduce those costs.

So, I was thinking if I could deploy NodeBB in Lambda, it could reduce costs there. However, I still have the problem of having to run MongoDB. I think it would still need to run in t2.small instance, so it wouldn't save me any money by doing this. And AWS DocumentDB (which is mongo compatible) is tied to EC2 instances, and the smallest available is much more expensive than a t2.small.

I could also deploy as a docker container, but again, those are tied to an EC2 instance. My first goal is to reduce costs, but my second goal is to do it with an architecture that can scale if I need it to.

Any ideas?

I'm looking to upgrade from 0.10.x to 0.11.x. Is there a script or something which will tell me what plugins are not designed for 0.11.x?

@Julian-H-Lam , what am I doing wrong here? Is this format correct?

I've also tried using CURL, and that also crashes it.

curl --request PUT --header "Authorization: Bearer xxxxx" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"tags":"test1"}' --verbose https://myforum.com/api/v2/topics/11983/tags

I'm doing a PUT against https://myforum.com/api/v2/topics/11693/tags

I'm trying to put the following content as application/json:

{
  "tags": ["test1", "test2"]
}

When I do this, nodebb immediately crashes with a "callFn.apply is not a function" error message. Is the write API even compatible with v1.10.1?

I noticed there are 2 write API plugins available. I used the one without -tmnl at the end of it. Should I be using that one instead?

I'm looking at using the /topics/tag route to add some tags to a ton of topics. This documentation doesn't tell me what's required for updating tags. This is the JSON I get back from the built-in read only API:

      "tags": [
        {
          "color": "",
          "bgColor": "",
          "valueEscaped": "juniper",
          "score": 3,
          "value": "juniper"
        },
        {
          "color": "",
          "bgColor": "",
          "valueEscaped": "ipv6",
          "score": 1,
          "value": "ipv6"
        }
      ],

Can I just submit something like:

      "tags": [
        {
          "value": "somenewtag"
        },
        {
          "value": "anothernewtag"
        }
      ],

I want to stop sending email to addresses that bounce. Either opting the account out of all email, and/or disabling all email notifications.

I'm sending mail via AWS SES, and if your bounce percentage goes above a certain threshold, they will stop you from sending. I need to be able to minimize this as much as possible.

Also, it would be nice to have an unsubscribe link in the email that would automatically unsubscribe users with just one click instead of making them log into their account.

How are others handling this?

Is this possible with just a CSS change, or is it more than that. Because the description is disappearing when making a category into a sub-category, I'm thinking it's more than just CSS.

Install Google Analytics and check there. I'm seeing the same thing, most of that extra traffic is search engines/bots. Google Analytics ignores them and gets you only meat user data.

If needed, is there a way to convert SSO accounts to local ones? Obviously they would require a password reset.

I'm looking at using the SSO plugins for Google, Facebook, and Github. I have a few questions before I install these:

1. Are they all stable?
2. On the registration page, are all options for registering presented, including just registering with an email address?
3. What happens to accounts that were registered through SSO if I eventually delete the SSO plugin that the account was registered under?

Thanks, that did it!

Any idea why? This is the code that got inserted when I dragged the alert container over, but it still just shows my text on a white background:

<div class="alert ui-draggable-handle alert-warning">{{body\}}</div>

I'm on 1.10.x, personna theme, cerulean skin.

I'm looking to be able to see a report that shows the top Topic starters and posters over the previous X number of days. Is this possible?

I have some custom CSS that puts a box around each category, but even with this disabled, the X or close button in the top right corner of chat windows does not show up. Edit: Looks like it only does it with the Flatly theme. If I go into my settings on this site and select Flatly, it does it here as well.

I still cannot figure it out. I see the tid: in some of the topics, but it's got the topic id in it, not a tag id. I'll buy someone a $100 Amazon (or other) gift card (or $100 worth of ETH/BTC) if they release on github a bulk tagging plugin that allows me to add one or multiple tags to all topics/posts in a category. I know it's not much, but I'm not generating any revenue off this site and have limited budget.

Thanks, I will fix it.

Right now, in the personna theme, the subcategories show in a 2-column table, and the description disappears from them. How can I make subcategories just indented under the main category, and show the description after each one??

Thinking about this further, it seems like the functionality of this plugin should probably be merged/maintained with master since it's such a core component influencing adoption of NodeBB.
