Running NodeBB
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The preferred way to start and stop NodeBB is by invoking its executable:
|
|
|
|
* ``./nodebb start`` Starts the NodeBB server
|
|
* ``./nodebb stop`` Stops the NodeBB server
|
|
* Alternatively, you may use ``npm start`` and ``npm stop`` to do the same
|
|
|
|
The methods listed below are alternatives to starting NodeBB via the executable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple Node.js Process
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
To start NodeBB, run it with ``node`` (some distributions use the executable ``nodejs``, please adjust accordingly):
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ cd /path/to/nodebb/install
|
|
$ node app
|
|
|
|
However, bear in mind that crashes will cause the NodeBB process to halt, bringing down your forum. Consider some of the more reliable options, below:
|
|
|
|
Supervisor Process
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Using the `supervisor package <https://github.com/isaacs/node-supervisor>`_, you can have NodeBB restart itself if it crashes:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ npm install -g supervisor
|
|
$ supervisor app
|
|
|
|
As ``supervisor`` by default continues to pipe output to ``stdout``, it is best suited to development builds.
|
|
|
|
Forever Daemon
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Another way to keep NodeBB up is to use the `forever package <https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever>`_ via the command line interface, which can monitor NodeBB and re-launch it if necessary:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ npm install -g forever
|
|
$ forever start app.js |
