So I'm attempting to install Nodebb via the nodejs app. I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm hoping people will be interested and follow along as I try and piece my way through things. First step: setup node.js app Second step: install redis.. this was a straight-forward wget, make , make-install (prefix=home), though I couldn't run make test because of a lack of tcl dependencies. third step, git co of nodebb seemed to go okay fourth step, ran nodebb setup, this required making sure node and redis was in my $PATH set the nodebb to run on the same port as the hello_world.js example in the nodejs app. A few things I'm not sure of: Do I need to be careful of my redis port, I'm assuming nodejs uses it internally, but I'd bet other people want to use it. I don't suppose they can without permissions from me though.. (at least I should set a password and use it eh :) Started the app. (nodebb start) I'll be darned, it worked (I'm sure there's problems somewhere)!!! Does anybody have ideas for the redis install/port/etc? nodebb also had configs for ip binding etc Thanks asked 04 Sep '14, 04:11 tdphys |
Glad NodeBB is working! Take a look at the NodeBB README - they mention securing Redis in the first step. You can set bind_address and your password in redis.conf. To start Redis with a configuration file, use the full path of the configuration file as first argument to redis-server. If you have any further questions or issues, feel free to submit a support ticket. answered 04 Sep '14, 14:46 yulian |
