Hi,

I’m considering NodeBB and have 3 main requirements.

• Must be High Availability (Auto scaling, Load Balancing, multi ec2’s etc)

• Must be deployed on AWS

• Need to use managed services where possible (RDS or DynamoDB, Elasticache)

Was wondering if this is possible, if there are any step by step guides or if you have had issues when running your deployment.

Thanks in advance

Todd

I noticed a recommendation of running ./nodebb build which performed successfully. I then attempted to run setup again & now get error message

Hi,

I am trying to install 1.9.x on a fresh ec2 in AWS. Database is Redis configured as a cluster. 0001-001 has an ip address of 10.0.0.31 The read replica 0001-002 has an ip address of 10.0.0.78

When I run setup on one of the ec2 instances I get errors

2018-05-29T04:48:02.122Z [3269] - warn: [cache-buster] could not read cache buster Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/ec2-user/nodebb/build/cache-buster'

Any idea where I might be going wrong?

Hi,

I am looking to deploy a multi country solution that keeps each country separate.

Is it possible to start with a top level Categories of Countries & have an automated process that assigns a user what their default category is based on their Country selection in profile?

Solution doesn’t need to be security concious, its ok for users to browse any categories, just want to make it an easier user experience.

Thanks in advance.

@baris Thank you

@yariplus thanks for your response. I look forward to that setup guide.

Hi,

Will NodeBB work when using Amazon's Elastic Cache to host Redis database?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks @yariplus for your valuable feedback. So would one have to perform a ./nodebb build? Your other comments has now got me thinking & makes sense. I guess I was thinking that the fully managed features of Beanstalk can pretty much be manually configured anyways....

thanks @julian Beanstalk is just configuring an EC2 ( among other things) so I can't see why it wouldn't work. Does the actual files that end up on the EC2 include the entire structure that can be seen in say Visual Studio code or are they a small subset?
