@Meketeke I think removing Cloudflare as proxy or DNS manager was not the solution as it defied the whole reason and purpose you tried to use Cf in the first place (which are the anti DDoS and other stuff). The solution was quite simple as @julian pointed out, the url in the config.json should match the setting in whatever reverse proxy you are using on the machine (say it NginX). If you are like me who is not using https in NginX since Cloudflare already does that, then the url in your config.json should be something like http://yourdomain.com, instead of https://yourdomain.com as one may first suppose.

At least that's how I solved the very same problem yesterday.

The error mysteriously disappeared and was replaced by an authentication error. I managed to have my Postmark account unlocked (btw, their support team was way much better than that of Sendgird, which still hasn't responded for 2 days since I requested till I am typing right now) and found that to use Postmark in Nodemailer you have to set the server api token as both the username and the password. This is quite counter intuitive, in my opinion.

And I finally figured out that, the test email button works on your last saved settings, not what you are editing in the input boxes right now.

So now Postmark is working. Thank God.

A new question concerning the development of my Backblaze B2 storage plugin:

I kind of have it working now, where files are uploaded and filenames returned properly, though it's lacking the sophisticated ways of setting host, bucket and credentials as the old s3 plugins (I'm still struggling figuring out what the hooks and functions are available to a plugin developer, since the documentation doesn't seem to be very updated and detailed).

I noticed there is this button to export personal data, including uploaded files. How should I possibly integrate this functionality into my plugin?

Hi people,

I haven't successfully set up the email part of my forum, and due to my lack of sufficient knowledge concerning email or SMTP I can only assume that even without any mailer plugin I can still use a regular email account as the sender for NodeBB.

So based on such assumption, I typed in an Outlook account but it won't work. Test email sending failed, with an alert saying:

C087470C157F0000:error:0A00010B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number:../deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:355:

What did I do wrong?

PS: I've created an AWS SES account, but it doesn't seem to make any sense to me as to how it should be used. And a Postmark account also, which got blocked immediately after signing up and I am still waiting for a response from its support team.

Thanks for all future help that anyone may be so kind to offer me.

@julian Yeah, I totally should have expected this, after bundling up so many times several Vue projects these years, during which my CPU fan always screams and screeches.

@josef Thank you. I'll give it a try.

I've completely nailed this problem by creating a swapfile. Wasn't expecting it to be so easy. Feel my Linux brain upgraded.

Hi there,

I've had the need for uploaded files to be stored in a Backblaze B2 server. The most recent plugin I can find doesn't seem to work properly and has outdated dependencies, so I'm planning on writing a new one.

However I haven't find a way to easily hot reload the plugin in development and see effects every time I change the code. I had been doing the same routine of code edit, copy paste to the node_modules directory, nodebb build and nodebb dev so many times for the entire day last Sunday. Would anyone be so kindly to help me out, please? I'd be much appreciated.

Thom

@PitaJ Thank you! Let me find out what magic those commands can work into the computer.

I am new to NodeBB and have only got it up and running on a first-year free AWS EC2 instance, which offers a very limited 1GB memory.

And I met my first major problem before I even invited my friends to try it: after installing a plugin and clicking the rebuild and restart button, the system became so dead that even SSH turned unusable. I have to reboot the system.

I wonder if I can build it locally on my laptop and then offload it to the remote server since NodeBB doesn't seem to consume as much resource running as when it is building. Build in advance and preferably, bundled into a single executable. Is it possible? How hard could it be if there's no ready to use tools for this kind of job?
