  • @jac I had a quick look at this, and whilst it seems everything is in order in terms of API key etc, long-term, this plugin in not “free” (although there is a Developer edition which is limited to 10,000 hits per month).

    @phenomlab thanks Mark, I did see that and I would be well under that so I don’t see why it would stop working all of a sudden. 🤔

    @jac I’m not entirely sure myself. I’ll need to take a better look.

    @jac again this has stopped working, I wonder if it’s anything to do with nodebb not being updated to the latest version… 🤔

    @jac Potentially, yes. I know there is a limit, but in all likelihood it’s probably more about the IP address you are using connect to their services - they may have it blacklisted. Do you know if any error messages are displayed in the browser console ?

    @phenomlab Thanks mate, although I have used this since the forum was set up. I believe the API key etc are in place.

    @jac I’m probably going to try this plugin here as I have a need for it (well, more of a desire actually), so I’ll let you know how my testing goes.

    @jac having tested this, it appears to work fine, but there is one main caveat in the sense that it works only for raw URL’s inserted into the post.

    So, if you have a link inserted and bound to a word, then that won’t be detected. This looks like quite a nice plugin, so it can stay 🙂 !

    @jac I created a new API key using my account (you can have multiple keys, so not an issue for the moment), and this seems to work fine on your site

    I can only assume that there is an issue with how you’ve configured iFramely under your own account. I’ll close this, as this isn’t a fault with the plugin itself.

    Maybe It’s time to self host I do wonder if this would fix the issue.

    @jac yeah, stopped working for me also so I decided to self host. Was quite painful to setup but I got there in the end and need to put together a guide on how to do it.

    I’ve used a subdomain for this based on security requirements and would recommend anyone else looking to self host do the same. The self hosted begin does have some limitations, but works very well for what I need as it’s active on Sudonix

    That’s great mate, I’d also be looking to self host if it has worked out well. A guide will be very useful 😁.

    Although at the moment I have no laptop or way or doing any of this so there is no rush.

    I have seen Iframely have this result for example for URL link ?

    6fe9e309-1b35-4faa-963e-ecc17a7233d9-image.png

    It’s a freescript or not ?
    If it’s self hosted, he have no limits ?

    How does it work ?

    I would be very interested in using it on my forum, which is why I would like a little more explanation or why not a little tutorial from our friend @phenomlab ha ha 😉

    I read the docs a bit and everything is not very clear, especially on the nginx reverse proxy conf for example or the cache or PM2/forever…

    I need to do some test to fully understand

    @DownPW The reverse proxy is relatively simple. I’m using the below

            location / {
                    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    
                    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8061/;
                    proxy_redirect off;
    
                    # Socket.IO Support
                    proxy_http_version 1.1;
                    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            }
    

    If you’re not running MemCached or Redis then you can ignore the cache part and just use the NodeJS defaults. I much prefer PM2 as this provides greater flexibility and control (in my view)

    Below output from pm2 status

    @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.

    @marusaky based on the work completed thus far (in relation to PM exchanges), I’m going to mark this completed. Sending email from the server itself works fine without issue, and DNS appears to be clean (valid SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records). It appears that only Gmail marks incoming messages from your domain as spam - perhaps because of the domain age, which there is nothing we can do to prevent this. Mail delivery to all other domains appears to work fine in al of my tests.
