@baris strangely enough, the category list loads now! And it doesn't look like there's any circularness in the list.

Still, trying to manage the admin group via /admin/manage/groups/administrators or /admin/manage/admins-mods results in a gateway timeout. I've also enabled verbose logging, which displays this upon visiting either of these two urls:

x.x.x.x - - [01/Nov/2022:17:12:10 +0000] "GET /forum/admin/manage/admins-mods HTTP/1.1" - - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0"

Now there's no response code. Strange.

@baris well, when I went to check, nothing appears.

There's also nothing helpful in the log;

The url is /admin/manage/admins-mods.
I'm behind a reverse proxy (nginx), if that helps.
In /var/log/nginx/error.log I see:

Even still, whenever I try uploading an image, I get this:

[cluster] Child Process (24423) has exited (code: null, signal: SIGILL)
[cluster] Spinning up another process...

@pitaj I'm on Ubuntu 18.04, using Node.js version 14.16.1.
I tried npm rebuild and restarting NodeBB, but it still crashes whenever I try to upload an image.

@teresa-hale-dhq Update: I attached a debugger to the Node process; here's the output from that.

Idk if this'll be of use, but putting it here in case it is.

As you can see, strangely, there isn't even an error.

I'm using the latest version of NodeBB

Update: I figured out how to merge the accounts -- I just had to supply an email and the plugin did the rest.
But now I have another problem: How do I access the user's remote ID from the template? So that when someone clicks on the username/icon, they're redirected to my application's profile page as opposed to NodeBB's?

@pitaj Could you give me a couple pointers as to how I would go about this? I'm a bit confused ^^"

@florian-rubel did you ever figure this one out?

I ask this because the user IDs of my site's users are different from their corresponding NodeBB uids.
If I don't provide uid, the plugin doesn't work.
If I do provide the uid, the plugin is unable to find the user, because as i mentioned above, the user IDs on the main site don't match NodeBB's. Any idea on what to do?
In case it's relevant, I used nodebb-plugin-import to import data from a previous forum.
