    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+
    With Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.08 stable release out now, it's time to revisit NodeBB install and setup. NodeBB is a node.js based open source forum software which can use either Redis or MongoDB for backend database. NodeBB official support forums are at https://community.nodebb.org/.

    Note:
    1. The following is a guide on installing NodeBB on Centmin Mod LEMP stack only. Learning how to use NodeBB is left up to you so best to signup on official NodeBB support forums as well as check out NodeBB's Github Repo and NodeBB Documentation ;)
    2. NodeBB Upgrade documentation
    3. Scaling NodeBB documentation
    4. Admin functions documentation
    5. Social Network SSOs docmentation
    6. Image API for storaging uploads in Amazon S3
    7. I posted a redisinfo.sh script on NodeBB forums ages back that might be useful along with some Redis information.

    NodeBB Install on Centmin Mod LEMP stack



    These instructions follow the official NodeBB documentation for CentOS install.

    To install NodeBB forums on Centmin Mod LEMP stack, you first need to install all the required software including Node.js and Redis at least.

    For Centmin Mod 123.08stable

    Centmin Mod has an Phusion Passenger Addon which installs Phusion Passenger required software which includes npm, Node.js, Ruby, Rubygems, Rails so running that addon would take care of the requirements first. Centmin Mod already has installed git and ImageMagick required packages.

    Phusion Passenger for node.js requirements

    Run Phusion Passenger Addon from Centmin Mod install directory's addons/passenger.sh directory. The cmdir shortcut alias will change you to Centmin Mod install directory at /usr/local/src/centminmod.

    Code (Text):
    cmdir
cd addons
./passenger.sh install


    For Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 and higher

    Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 as at Jan 20th, 2016 has added a standalone addons/nodejs.sh installer so no longer need to run addons/passenger.sh addon to install node.js

    Code (Text):
    cmdir
cd addons
./nodejs.sh install


    Redis for database usage

    Install Redis server via YUM. Centmin Mod's 3rd party YUM repos will take care of this by using Remi YUM repo for Redis 3.x.

    Code (Text):
    yum -y install redis --enablerepo=remi --disableplugin=priorities
chkconfig --add redis
chkconfig --level 345 redis on
service redis start


    Optionally setup Redis password
    Code (Text):
    REDISPASS=$(openssl rand 10 -base64)
echo "requirepass $REDISPASS" >> /etc/redis.conf
service redis restart


    Create Site Domain Nginx Vhost

    Setup the domain Nginx vhost where you want NodeBB installed on i.e. newdomain.com. You can follow Getting Started Item 2 or the Nginx vhost setup guide page.

    I will use the new /usr/bin/nv command line method for adding newdomain.com Nginx vhost

    Code (Text):
    /usr/bin/nv -d newdomain.com -s y -u MYFTPUSERNAME


    Then install via git clone the NodeBB files into the web root public directory i.e. /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/. Latest version of NodeBB on Github is v1.4.5

    Code (Text):
    cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public
git clone -b v1.4.5 https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB nodebb


    Then change into directory and run npm install and nodebb setup/start
    Code (Text):
    cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb
npm install
./nodebb setup

    As NodeBB was setup on /nodebb subdirectory edit /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/config.json to tag on the end /nodebb from docs at The NodeBB Config (config.json) — NodeBB 0.4.1 documentation

    change url from (might say localhost which you can change to 127.0.0.1
    Code:
    http://127.0.0.1:4567
    to
    Code:
    http://127.0.0.1:4567/nodebb


    i.e. /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/config.json

    Code (Text):
    {
    "url": "http://127.0.0.1:4567",
    "secret": "09df113d-0255-48b7-8e21-csssss2224",
    "database": "redis",
    "redis": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "6379",
        "password": "",
        "database": "3"
    }
}


    Then start nodebb via
    Code (Text):
    cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb
./nodebb start


    Then you can start and stop node.js via

    To start

    Code (Text):
    cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/; ./nodebb start


    To stop

    Code (Text):
    cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/; ./nodebb stop


    To restart

    Code (Text):
    cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/; ./nodebb restart


    To view log output

    Code (Text):
    cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/; ./nodebb log


    Also you can add alias commands to /root/.bashrc as well
    • nodebbstart = to start
    • nodebbstop = to stop
    • nodebbrestart = to restart
    • nodebblog = to view log

    Code (Text):
    alias nodebbstart='cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/; ./nodebb start'
alias nodebbstop='cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/; ./nodebb stop'
alias nodebbrestart='cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/; ./nodebb restart'
alias nodebblog='cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/; ./nodebb log'


    NodeBB Nginx Vhost Setup



    Then to setup Nginx vhost for newdomain.com to be able to use Nginx to proxy the NodeBB installation on port 4567. If you setup newdomain.com via centmin.sh menu option 2 or via /usr/bin/nv with SSL enabled you would have 2 Nginx vhost files to edit.
    • for http at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf
    • for https SPDY SSL at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com..ssl.conf

    Also comment out /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf include line inboth vhost files
    Code (Text):
      include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;


    The relevant NodeBB proxy info for Nginx vhost. Save this info into a file called /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/include-nodebb.conf

    Code (Text):
        location ~ ^/(images|language|sounds|templates|uploads|vendor|src\/modules|nodebb\.min\.js|stylesheet\.css|admin\.css) {
        root /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/public;
    }

    location / {
        root /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/public;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_redirect off;

        # Socket.IO Support
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }


    Add the file as an include file in both /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf and /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.ssl.conf

    So in /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf

    Code (Text):
    # Centmin Mod Getting Started Guide

Uncomment lines in /usr/local/nginx/conf/passenger.conf to enable passenger
Nginx needs to have passenger nginx module compiled for it to work

1. edit centmin.sh and set NGINX_PASSENGER=y
2. run centmin.sh menu option 4 to recompile Nginx
3. uncomment/enable /usr/local/nginx/conf/passenger.conf include file in nginx.conf
4. then check that passenger module is in list of nginx modules via command:

nginx -V


This script only installs passenger, node.js, ruby, rails, rubygem and is provided as is.
See Phusion Passenger documentation at for deployment and configuration at:
* http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Nginx.html
* https://github.com/phusion/passenger/wiki/Phusion-Passenger%3A-Node.js-tutorial
* https://github.com/phusion/passenger/wiki

Log out and log back into your SSH session
to complete the next setup steps above

Instructions also at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/3282
    The Nginx Passenger setup instructions are not needed for NodeBB unless you want to enable Phusion Passenger Nginx module support in Nginx.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

NodeBB Setup Completed. Run './nodebb start' to manually start your NodeBB server.
    As NodeBB was setup on /nodebb subdirectory edit /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/config.json to tag on the end /nodebb from docs at The NodeBB Config (config.json) — NodeBB 0.4.1 documentation

    change url from
    Code:
    http://127.0.0.1:4567
    to
    Code:
    http://127.0.0.1:4567/nodebb
    i.e. /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/config.json

    Code:
    {
    "url": "http://localhost:4567",
    "secret": "09df113d-0255-48b7-8e21-c2d0eba3be54",
    "database": "redis",
    "redis": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "6379",
        "password": "",
        "database": "3"
    }
}
    Then start node.js and NodeBB via forever

    Code:
    cd /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/nodebb/; forever start loader.js

    Only problems I have with right now is forever restart or ./nodebb restart commands do not work properly

    Code:
    forever restart loader.js
info:    Forever restarted process(es):
data:        uid  command             script    forever pid  id logfile                 uptime 
data:    [0] n8Gn /usr/local/bin/node loader.js 6554    6559    /root/.forever/n8Gn.log STOPPED

forever stop loader.js       
error:   Forever cannot find process with id: loader.js
    nodebb restart returns blank
    Code:
    ./nodebb restart
    but nodebb stop and start works
    Code:
    ./nodebb stop
Stopping NodeBB. Goodbye!

./nodebb start
Starting NodeBB
  "./nodebb stop" to stop the NodeBB server
  "./nodebb log" to view server output
  "./nodebb restart" to restart NodeBB

    This looks very sexy. I do need to try this guide out on one of my test install of centminmod.. Have seen some youtubes and got hooked - but switch from XF to NodeBB - I don't think so, but hey, believe in miracles so maybe. Faith moves mountains. Thanks for the guide @eva2000

    Yeah i'd start on XF first as NodeBB has importer for XF

    But there's no XF importer for NodeBB :)

    Updated 1st post with Centmin Mod 123.09beta01's new addons/nodejs.sh installer for installing node.js 4.2.4 LTS via nodesource.com YUM repo instead of via source compile in addons/passenger.sh addon.

    Updated 1st post with latest NodeBB version reference as you have to check Releases · NodeBB/NodeBB · GitHub for latest version and adjust your gitclone branch/tag version you want i.e. old guide had v0.9.0 while latest has v1.4.5

    same method if you just want domain.com/community ?

    total green horn to node.js

    i believe you still do the install to /what/ever/path/nodebb then do the proxy path from the local port etc?

    I wasnt able to get it up and running on 1.2.3-eva2000.08 using the method above, seems node.js and npm is way out of date for the latest nodebb release.

    on 123.09beta01 no issues with the overall setup of nodebb, just needed to spin up another instance to play with it.
