@jac yeah, stopped working for me also so I decided to self host. Was quite painful to setup but I got there in the end and need to put together a guide on how to do it.
I’ve used a subdomain for this based on security requirements and would recommend anyone else looking to self host do the same. The self hosted begin does have some limitations, but works very well for what I need as it’s active on Sudonix
That’s great mate, I’d also be looking to self host if it has worked out well. A guide will be very useful

Although at the moment I have no laptop or way or doing any of this so there is no rush.
I have seen Iframely have this result for example for URL link ?
It’s a freescript or not ?
If it’s self hosted, he have no limits ?
How does it work ?
I would be very interested in using it on my forum, which is why I would like a little more explanation or why not a little tutorial from our friend @phenomlab ha ha 
@DownPW said in Iframely (Nodebb):

Yes, it’s the free (self hosted) version
https://iframely.com/docs/host
Everything you need is in the above document 
I read the docs a bit and everything is not very clear, especially on the nginx reverse proxy conf for example or the cache or PM2/forever…
I need to do some test to fully understand
@DownPW The reverse proxy is relatively simple. I’m using the below
location / {
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_pass http://127.0.0.1:8061/;
proxy_redirect off;
# Socket.IO Support
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
If you’re not running MemCached or Redis then you can ignore the cache part and just use the NodeJS defaults. I much prefer PM2 as this provides greater flexibility and control (in my view)
Below output from pm2 status
I have install iframely like the doc, no cache app, no reverse proxy with PM2 and I have not modify config file.
Results? it does not work
something I missing ?
what I don’t understand is how Iframely can interact with NodeBB. There is nothing to configure on the NodeBB side?
I have install Iframely nodebb plugin and setup with my local IP (because it’s a VM on no prod server) like this :
Doesn’t work
@DownPW can you try removing the port and just use the IP address ?

We are using self-hosted iframely… Unfortunately, our developer is currently busy with relocation etc, therefore I cannot ask for more detail…
But we have this as the endpoint address:
http://0.0.0.0:8061/iframely?
So, I guess we installed it as a subfolder at this port location in the same server? Maybe @phenomlab can tell it better 
sorry, I am not good at backend work
@crazycells typically, you do not need the port as that is handled and processed by the NGINX config. I have my instance running in a subdomain for security reasons with CORS headers adjusted to suit.
@DownPW from what I see, iFramely isn’t setup properly on your server as the port of 8061 does not appear to be listening. For example, see below for the response I get when trying to access the port.
Another possibility here (and a strong one in fact) is that you probably need to open this port on your firewall (perhaps iptables) and probably your router also (in terms of NAT).
@DownPW right, but what about iptables on the server itself? The port isn’t responding which is the first hurdle to overcome.
I don’t know because I think you are connected to ssh, so I don’t see this
grrr it’s a debian scratch and iptables is not installed by defaut
@DownPW what happens if you perform the same telnet command from the server itself ? If that responds, then the issue is possibly the NAT translation via the router.
Fire example, if telnet 127.0.0.1 8061 connects, then the port is listening on localhost. If you try the same but with the public IP you have instead, then that’s a NAT issue (potentially)
very odd @phenomlab
I can connect to telnet on server (local host) and externally (with my phone on 4g network = externally network) with public ip
telnet privateIP 8061 is OK on the server
telnet externalPublicIP 8061 is OK with my smartphone on 5G (externally network) with Termux app
The NAT on my router and the server is OK on 8061 port
@DownPW very odd. Ok. I’ll take a look at this tomorrow morning but I do need root access (and password) to this server.

OK
you already have these information in your PM
