Install NodeBB 1.10.2 on Fedora 28 with Mongo
-
NodeBB does not run a a standard port and you will never want it live to the internet this way.
So you want to put NginX in front of it as a reverse proxy.
-
Are we supposed to change the permissions on the /opt directory? I tried to run the setup and ran into all kinds of permissions errors.

Try using sudo or switch to root to run the setup.

I can see the confusion. I left a couple
sudoin there.I always try to write my guides done as
rootto prevent issues like this.For the people the know enough to not want to do something, as
root, they generally will not need to ask. -
OP updated to clarify to run as root.

I ran through the whole setup with sudo and received the permissions error on ./nodebb setup.

What OS are you on? I've never had a problem with this. This guide was created because I had to setup a new instance the other day. The commands above are what is in my command history.

@JaredBusch Fedora 28. After I changed the permissions to /opt I was able to run the setup. I am going to try it again later with a new instance.

No changes.
-
@mattbagan bingo. SELinux
-
@JaredBusch that makes more sense. Any idea when you are going to finish the guide? I made it to the setup and can't answer some of the questions it asks.

Where did you get your error? I just did it again with SELinux enforcing and no error to this mpoint.

nevermind..
The benchpres component puked.

Good guide, NodeBB is a nice product.
-
@mattbagan I would call this a nodebb problem, or potentially benchpress.
Definitely running as
rootnegates this issue. -

I think so too. That is why I run my D&D forum on it.
-
@JaredBusch Is D&D a game?

Dungeons and Dragons.
-
@scottalanmiller ah gotcha, wasn't that a really popular board game in the 90s if I memory serves me correctly?
