  • @jac Well, there’s a couple of choices. I now have this working from the CERTBOT perspective, so I think that this will work once the retries counter has been reset. So

    1. You wait until the retry counter is reset (typically next day) then attempt to renew the cert then
    2. You purchase a cert, and not have to worry about it for a year

    Up to you.

    Probably the most logical I guess.

  • Another option is to route the domain via Cloudflare. This will provide a free certificate, but does come at a price in the sense that it will impact the websocket server to the point where the direct socket doesn’t work, and will fall back to XMLHTTP.

    If you’re willing to go down this route, I can facilitate

    Is this a sensible option as in will it slow the forum down / increase loading time?

    @jac As you do not have a Cloudflare account, we will need to create one - or, I can tack your domain onto my account meaning I will be responsible for it.

    Up to you.

    Before we go down this route, I’m going to wait an hour to see if I can renew the LE cert.

    Having read the last message sent, if you do go down this route I am more than happy for it to be added to your account, but only if you are, or I can create my own.

    Ok, no issues. I’ll add it to my account - but only if the LE renewal fails

    @jac I noticed that the .well-known directories for LE had been deleted from your default web server path, so I recreated them and forced a renew

    @cagatay as @downpw stated, there isn’t a native tool that will do this for you. You’d need to either develop your own or ask the nodebb team to assist which will be a paid exercise.

    @Panda said in Spam spam spam: ok, yes Ive seen the queue, it shows IP, but doesnt have a field for comments from registrant. It’s not designed for that. It merely serves as a gateway between posts appearing on your form or not. @Panda said in Spam spam spam: It would be better if nodebb had this plugin included in ACP list, as not only then do you know its approved and should work, but many people cant or dont want to use CLI on the server That’s a question for the NodeBB devs but in all honesty you can’t not use the CLI when installing nodebb so to be this isn’t a big deal.

    A more efficient way of including this would be to not over complicate it and leverage a standard iframe (providing the CSP headers of the remote site permit this) like below <iframe src="https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/start/?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5" width="700" height="800"></iframe> This works first time every time on your site as intended.

    @crazycells hmm. Good point. I actually use my own version of the dark mode plugin, so not entirely sure. However, I think the CSS is probably the same. I’m not at my PC currently but can check and advise later.
