How to install a self-hosted instance of iFramely for use with NodeBB

@DownPW no. It needs to be an A record. CNAME is canonical meaning that traffic sent to it will land up at your main nginx site. The A record will sent headers which nginx can use to route the traffic correctly.

CNAME records do not have this and will resolve to the underlying host which will cause you problems. Useful for WWW and non-WWW, but that’s about it.

Essentially, it’s an alias and not a record in it’s own right.

@phenomlab i think my ifamely started to not work i dont know why youtube embed not working

[PM2][ERROR] Process or Namespace iframely not found
[PM2][WARN] Current process list is not synchronized with saved list. App iframely iframely differs. Type ‘pm2 save’ to synchronize.

@cagatay is the iframely service started ? That error message would indicate it’s not running

@phenomlab as a result of ps -x i cant see iframely service pid id so i think its not working automaticly when i rebooted the server. How can i start it?

[phenomlab]

@cagatay try pm2 start pm2.json which needs to be executed from the directory of the iFramely domain where it is installed. See previous documentation I provided after the installation.

A quicker route would be to reboot your VPS to see if that resolves the issue.

@phenomlab

hope everything is ok from now.

@phenomlab when i reboot the vps nodebb and iframely not working auto
but manually everything is working fine right now.

@cagatay ok, that needs looking at then as it seems it’s not configured properly. For now of course you can start it manually.

Hello @phenomlab

I like your iframe :

Can you please provide your CSS code with me for Iframely Iframe ?

Thanks in advance dude

@DownPW this was actually stolen from @crazycells () and slightly modified, so I can’t really take the credit.

His original response to the iFramely guide I posted contains the CSS he’s using is here

Please wait while the description loads.

@phenomlab yeap, unfortunately, the original unpaid version of iframely takes up a huge space on the screen. These CSS codes make it better than normal. But of course, it is not as good as the original paid version of iframely

@DownPW it is the second post of this thread.
