# NodeBB
|
|
**NodeBB** is a robust nodejs driven forum built on a redis database. It is powered by web sockets, and is compatible down to IE8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
NodeBB requires a version of Node.js at least 0.8 or greater, and a Redis version 2.6 or greater.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
First, we install our base software stack. `build-essential` is required as it exposes the build environment for `bcrypt` compilation, we won't be compiling anything manually.
|
|
|
|
# apt-get install git nodejs redis-server npm build-essential
|
|
$ cd /path/to/nodebb/install/location
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB.git nodebb
|
|
|
|
Next, obtain all of the dependencies required by NodeBB:
|
|
|
|
$ cd nodebb
|
|
$ npm install
|
|
|
|
Now we ensure that the configuration files are properly set up. NodeBB runs on port 4567 by default. The client side config can be set up thusly:
|
|
|
|
$ cp public/config.default.json public/config.json
|
|
|
|
... and the server side config can be set up similarly:
|
|
|
|
$ cp config.default.js config.js
|
|
|
|
Ensure that `/public/config.json` points to the publically accessible IP/hostname of your forum, and that the values of the server side config are also set correctly (see below).
|
|
|
|
Lastly, we run the forum.
|
|
|
|
$ node app
|
|
|
|
*(Optional)* Some server configurations may install the node binary as `nodejs` instead of `node`. You can re-map it (so as to not break compatibility with `node-supervisor`) by running the following command:
|
|
|
|
# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/node node /usr/bin/nodejs 10 |
