NodeBB 3.0 alpha1 : Error on install

Solved Configure
19 2 3.9k 1
  • Hello @phenomlab

    I want to test alpha1 for V3 for test JS, theme switcher, css themes, etc.

    I have upgraded my dev environnement to 2.8.1
    I follow this link : https://community.nodebb.org/post/89581

    So, hop !

    cd /path/to/your/nodebb
    git rev-parse HEAD  # save this value in case you need to roll back  --- 727f879e5b1698fcf9bdbaca5181b28d0e9497fd
    git fetch && git checkout bootstrap5
    git reset --hard v3.0.0-alpha.1
    ./nodebb upgrade -mi
    

    But 😞

    nodebb@node:~$ cd /home/nodebb/nodebb/
    nodebb@node:~/nodebb$ git rev-parse HEAD
    727f879e5b1698fcf9bdbaca5181b28d0e9497fd

    An idea ?

    @DownPW you should remove the plugins quoted in that list - for example

    nodebb-plugin-emoji@4.0.6
    

    Then try the upgrade process again.

    @DownPW yes, I saw that this morning. You could still try and remove those plugins which aren’t compliant though.

    Hourra I’m on V3 🙂

    here the solution for installation :

    cd /path/to/your/nodebb
    git rev-parse HEAD  # save this value in case you need to roll back  --- 727f879e5b1698fcf9bdbaca5181b28d0e9497fd
    git fetch && git checkout bootstrap5
    git reset --hard v3.0.0-alpha.3
    npm config set legacy-peer-deps true
    ./nodebb upgrade -mi
    ./nodebb build
    ./nodebb start
    

    A lot of things doesn’t work with new Personna Bootstrap 5 like theme Switcher selector for example

    –> Could I count on you to help me evolve the things we created together for Persona5 or Harmony? Like footerbar, theme Switcher selector, welcome message with image change ?

    –> Other things, Harmony theme not include on alpha ?

    It does work, but needs minor tweaks as the existing listener doesn’t work under bootstrap 5 as it did under bootstrap 3. Nothing major to fix.

    Of course you can count on me. I’ll be in the same journey 🙂

    Harmony isn’t available yet from what I’ve read - not until beta releases I think.

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.

    @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.
