NodeBB 3.0 alpha1 : Error on install

Solved Configure
  • 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.

  • @phenomlab

    npm remove nodebb-plugin
    

    ?

  • @phenomlab

    test with npm remove nodebb-plugin-emoji@4.0.6

  • @DownPW yes, exactly. You can then install the updated (and compliant) v3 versions after the upgrade process completed successfully.

  • @DownPW looks like a permissions issue?

  • @phenomlab I’m on root maybe that

    EDit: nope idem on non root user

  • @DownPW can you try with just

    npm remove nodebb-plugin-emoj
    
  • @phenomlab said in NodeBB 3.0 alpha1 : Error on install:

    npm remove nodebb-plugin-emoj

    nope

  • @DownPW can you provide an output of the currently installed plugins before upgrade?

  • @phenomlab https://community.nodebb.org/topic/16721/nodebb-v3-0-0-alpha-1-an-alpha-release/29

    maybe a problem with depot permissions.
    I wait a answer by Pitag or other nodebb staff

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

  • @phenomlab

    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 ?

  • @DownPW said in NodeBB 3.0 alpha1 : Error on install:

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

    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.

    ✈

    haha that doesn’t surprise me. Thank you again for that my friend 👍 ♥

    I still hesitate between staying under Persona 5 or Harmony.

    I will decide when I can test it

  • DownPWundefined DownPW has marked this topic as solved on
  • @DownPW I’m going to test harmony. I quite like the look. However, I did start a topic to discuss this. Would appreciate input

    https://sudonix.com/topic/397/nodebb-v3-and-harmony-theme

  • @DownPW very odd. I don’t recall setting permissions there but try now.


Did this solution help you?
Did you find the suggested solution useful? Why not buy me a coffee? It's a nice gesture, and a great way to show your appreciation 💗

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them.

    More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons.

    I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but can’t fetch API:

    How did you drop that widget into the post there?
    I hadnt seen this BSgenerator anywhere on sudonix site, do you use it somewhere already?

    Yes, here

    https://sudonix.org/topic/414/corporate-bullshit-generator?_=1687774393044

    It’s not a “post” or “topic” in the common sense. It is actually a page in it’s own right and leverages nodebb-plugin-custom-pages. This in turn creates a new “route” which behaves like a page, meaning it is then exposed for widgets.

    @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but can’t fetch API:

    Also can you explain more what you mean by calling the code externally. In my API call example, how would I go about doing that?

    By this, I mean create all the required code in an external JS file that is reachable by the NodeBB instance - so, in “public” for example - or in my case /public/js. The widget then “calls” that file and because it runs outside of the scope of NodeBB, you just need to return the values to the widget.

    Hope this makes sense?

    @mventures Yes, exactly. The other icon will restart NodeBB whilst the first icon I referenced will rebuild (recompile) it.

    The huge strength of NodeBB over Flarum (for example) is that the code is precompiled, and called once at boot. PHP’s code has to repeatedly reload code from source making it much slower.

    @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.

    @pwsincd I think you can use userData.isAdmin = isAdmin; if I’m not mistaken - see

    @phenomlab said in Social icon (Nodebb):

    @jac I just tested my theory around using the OG image, and according to the Twitter card validator, it works fine
