Best solution to this npm issue is;

sudo npm config set ca ""

then

sudo npm config set strict-ssl false
sudo npm update npm -g
sudo npm config set strict-ssl true

all should work normally after that.

Sub-forums are a real must have.

Very nice work.

Hey people, I am extremely new to node.js, NodeBB & dokku but I've been trying to set up a nodeBB forum on my dokku image on digital ocean and although I have set up redis to work with the app when I run --setup it fails to connect to it, anyone else using a setup like this and any pointers for getting it working. The error I get is this;

error: Redis connection to [IP ADDRESS] failed - connect ECONNREFUSED

I have redis setup and dokku has linked the container to my forum container, I pass the correct IP & port during setup but the connection fails, I'm at a bit of a loss.

Regardless of peoples feelings about enforcing real name policy having it as an administrator option is a boon for the platform as a whole.

This is a very nice step indeed.

Ok here is the email they just fired back.

Hello,

We do not have plans that I am aware of for this image but I would recommend that the devs contact us at [email protected] to see if we can put something together.

Thanks
Ryan

FIXED IT!

Just need to add some extra proxy settings to my sites configuration in nginx once I was on a suitably up to date version.

Thanks for the pointers.

Already answered in your other thread.

Fully agree that there should be a demo site running, keep it on the last release and reset it once a day.

At the minute it's hidden and locked, deleting a post isn't supported yet.

I actually prefer the tab to preview look, it's more consistent with the rest of the app.

If it's a standard ubuntu 12.04 droplet from Digital ocean you probably don't have a web server installed yet, install a current version of nginx (not from the standard ubuntu repository) and set it up to reverse proxy your nodebb app to port 80. there are plenty of good guides on this on the digital ocean support pages.
