  • Other idea : tutorial for change/customize maintenance mode page (503) for nodeBB

    @DownPW another great idea. Thanks

  • This is quite a wild suggestion, but with recent developments…

    The Meta Threads app is released now, it will be interesting to see how that fares compared to rival Twitter.
    Threads says they plan to integrate to the Fediverse, so can interact with other platforms like Mastodon.
    NodeBB did hint that Fediverse / activitypub may be considered for their v4 roadmap. (But I would not hold my breath on that)

    As a half-way house Ive been thinking what might be possible, as a widget with the nodebb APIs available right now.
    Something like a showcase window, where interesting posts from other forums could be shown in a widget.

    So for Forums agreeing to the Nodebbiverse, authors could select to have topic summary broadcast, with link to the full forum thread.
    Its an oportunity for Nodebb forums to publicise each other.

    @phenomlab has a fast development track record, so if this was thought to be a good idea I think with team effort, we could have it working in weeks, rather than being a distant pipe-dream

    On practical note, I have never used Nodebb APIs. To take posts from a forum, I guess would need a key.
    Is the API key same for all APIs, or could a key be generated to be shared which just allows access to view posts, but not more intrusive actions?

    Why would you need an API to do this? If the RSS feed is being exposed on the remote side, you could just use that to create a centralised feed from multiple sources.

    Again, you can use the RSS feed for this.

    Each API key ties back to a user (unless if is 0 which means it can impersonate any user, which I’d advise against). That same user is then assigned permissions, so yes, it’s possible.

    @phenomlab
    So for example does Sudonix expose its RSS feed?
    How to access this, what is link?

  • Yes exactly.

    It took me a while to install it correctly without deposit key error etc…

    @DownPW I’ve just used this with no issues on a new server I’m building

    https://www.fosstechnix.com/how-to-install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-22-04-lts/

  • Personnaly, I have used official documentation because mongodb has udpated her with fixed GPG armor import key method

    @DownPW Good point, but I think it I actually prefer to use the maintainer package because you may encounter dependency issues from source.

  • I like all the unique UI elements you are using on sudonix, compared to NodeBB standard installation. For example the icons next to the username referring to groups, reputation and so on. If I didn’t missed a guide to that I would be happy to see that.

    @dave1904 there isn’t one currently, but I can easily put something together
