  • @DownPW said in Iframely (Nodebb):

    what I don’t understand is how Iframely can interact with NodeBB. There is nothing to configure on the NodeBB side?

    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.

  • 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 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).

    I have open the port on my router:

    @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.

    @DownPW confirmed. Thanks

    @DownPW This is now resolved. The issue was an incorrect URL specified in the Nodebb plugin. I’ve corrected this, and now it works as intended.

    @mventures You’d need to connect to the server and execute it directly - not on your local terminal. Review the guide below, which will show you how to gain access via SSH to your server https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/dedicated/ssh-introduction/ Once you have access, you’ll need to navigate to the actual folder where NodeBB is installed You’ll then need to change to the directory as shown below /home/unbuntu/nodebb [image: 1680448167972-fdffe673-bf63-4b6d-a728-5506fddc1aff-image.png] In most cases, initial access takes you to the root of the file system. You can always issue pwd in a Linux terminal which will show you the Present Working Directory. From there, you can issue the command cd /home/ubuntu/nodebb Once in the NodeBB directory, you’d use the below commands ./nodebb stop git fetch && git checkout develop && git reset --hard origin/develop ./nodebb upgrade ./nodebb start Line 1 stops the NodeBB instance Line 2 gets the latest files from GIT (repository) and then checks out the development branch. It then resets the version you are using to the development branch ready for v3 Line 3 Runs the upgrade once the new branch is set, and code pulled Line 4 Restarts the NodeBB instance after the upgrade has completed Note that when you restart NodeBB and log back in, things will look very different to what you had in v2.

    @DownPW sure. Let me have a look at this in more detail. I know nginx plus has extensive support for this, but it’s not impossible to get somewhere near acceptable with the standard version. You might be better off handling this at the Cloudflare level given that it sits in between the requesting client and your server.

    @eeeee said in restarting nodebb on boot: can I just run nodebb under nodemon for auto restarts? It’s a better method. Nodemon just looks for file system changes and would effectively die if the server was rebooted meaning you’d have to start it again anyway. Systemd is the defacto standard which is how the operating system interacts in terms of services, scheduled tasks etc.

    @marusaky based on the work completed thus far (in relation to PM exchanges), I’m going to mark this completed. Sending email from the server itself works fine without issue, and DNS appears to be clean (valid SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records). It appears that only Gmail marks incoming messages from your domain as spam - perhaps because of the domain age, which there is nothing we can do to prevent this. Mail delivery to all other domains appears to work fine in al of my tests.

    @phenomlab said in nodebb dropdown menu: @kurulumu-net You set it like the below example taken from this site [image: 1637939951821-aae36790-3257-4bb2-ad5a-0d744309876a-image.png] Which presents this [image: 1637939983445-77f47260-2941-4afe-9614-8e17dcfc8c19-image.png] Very interesting… I actually thought this wasn’t possible, as I remember it being asked in the NodeBB forum. Is this something new that’s been implemented? I’ll 100% be doing that when I’m on the laptop over the weekend.
