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.

Todd

@baris Thank you

Hi, Attempting a fresh install on a new AWS Linux instance.

@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.

Todd

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?

Hi,
New to NodeBB & trying to work out how to install to AWS Beanstalk?
Is it a point of downloading source from Git, Install dependencies, run setup then zip back up & upload to Beanstalk?
Thanks in advance.
Todd

@nodebb789 did you work this out?

@animal me too

Thanks @Julian, How hard would it be for a developer to create one?

Hi @julian, has there been any progress on this?

Thanks

Todd

@hariom-vashisth Thank you

@hariom-vashisth said in force https:

Are you using EC2 instance(s) for hosting NodeBB ?
For managing nodebb process , what service are you using ?
Are you using any application server ?
For DNS are you using any amazon service ?
Load balancer settings/configuration architecture ?

Thanks for your message

1. Yes
2. Not sure what you mean be service.
3. No
4. No
5. DNS has a cname record, to the load balancer URL, the load balancer just points to a single instance of EC2.

I'm just playing with this awesom software at the moment & have a single instance with MongoDB & NodeBB on the same server. I like AWS load balancer over say NGINX for monitoring, auto scaling & alert features. Cloud formation won't work as it doesn't support sockets yet.

Thank you

Hi,

Is there a way to force or redirect to https inside the NodeBB software? I can see how it is done using the likes of NGINX but I am using an Amazon Load Balancer to handle reverse proxy but it doesn't have this feature.

Thanks in advance

Todd

Hi,

Is it possible to use Amazon Cognito to handle authentication or maybe sync with NodeBB?

Thanks

Todd

Just a user on the actual nodebb database issue. (had to create one as opposed to trying to use the Global Admin)

All sorted
