Welcome @ebell

I just joined a few minutes ago from Austin, Texas. Is this site custom or does it use turn-key forum type software? It's really nice. I look forward to participating.
On our site we use Discourse for our forum, but this site is really impressive.

Definitely doesn't use turnkey. This is NodeBB. Also, welcome.

@wirestyle22 In my opinion it's a lot more fun to use that Discourse. I wish we would have used NodeBB instead. I'll go check it out, thank you.

I played with a lot of different ones before settling on NodeBB. We got really lucky that we found it, it was brand new when we went with it, we started on it in beta, a year before release!

It is currently NodeBB on CentOS 7. Although I'd recommend Fedora these days. We are using MongoDB on the back end.

@scottalanmiller Cool. I go to Dallas every once in awhile. There is a lot of stuff going on up there lately.

Yeah, I like Dallas. It's definitely a booming place, much like Austin.

Fedora is updated more frequently compared to Centos. Centos is their Long-term-support solution, so updates comes out less frequently.

You don't have to worry that much with installing repos because of how old the packages are in CentOS.

I have an article on why...
http://www.smbitjournal.com/2017/04/rethinking-long-term-support-releases/
Basically when using CentOS, you have one of two choices...
- Use old packages that get many years out of date and make you run much slower and with fewer features most or all of the time. Or...
- Don't use CentOS as intended and defeat the reason that you chose it (long term support with unchanging packages.)
So for things like app deployments, it rarely makes sense IMHO.

Not sure. But Jakarta used to be Batavia and Batavia, NY is named after it.
