    @DownPW If you issue ./nodebb start does this work if you then issue ./nodebb log ? Sounds like a NGINX issue to me

    @DownPW Potentially dumb question, but why is the path /home/nodebb/nodebb ?

    Also, why are you trying to install the 18.x branch when you should be using 19.x ?

    I see

    cd /home/nodebb
    git clone -b v1.18.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
    cd nodebb
    

    This should be

    cd /home/nodebb
    git clone -b v1.19.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
    cd nodebb

    I think they really have a problem on the github and coincidentally it’s a plugin on which they had big problems that was in question. (emoji)

    @DownPW Looking at the error message, I’d say you’re right.

    here a gif for the problem of perf.
    On a clean install of nodeBB on a clean install server VM

    The problem is just when I refresh the page entierly or ACP access

    alt text

    No problem on 1.18.x or 1.19.2

    very odd

    @DownPW Looks like that’s waiting for a response from something. Have you run this site through the F12 developer tools -> Network tab to see where the delay is ?

    @DownPW Yes, you’re right. For some strange reason, that CSS file is not being served - but should be on your server if you check the path.

    @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 Yes, it is. It’s set far too low meaning other elements with a higher preference will sit over the top of it.

    @phenomlab Seems to be better with some scaling fix for redis on redis.conf. I haven’t seen the message yet since the changes I made # I increase it to the value of /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn tcp-backlog 4096 # I'm uncommenting because it can slow down Redis. Uncommented by default !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #save 900 1 #save 300 10 #save 60 10000 If you have other Redis optimizations. I take all your advice https://severalnines.com/blog/performance-tuning-redis/
