    I much prefer NodeBB, just feels faster and lighter.

    That being said, I couldn't work out how to make a private forum with it, which I can see some use for, but Discourse seems to have more documented in that area.

    So it might be that your decision will be based more on specific features you want.

    But if it's UI/UX, then I'd say go NodeBB, and be very thankful how damn easy Cloudron makes it to have all these options!

    @2TonWaffle Glad you found the problem. But also, if the app is in control of email, the diagnostics of Cloudron Email is not really relevant (for example, test email etc).

    @corsacca this is actually a platform wide feature which we introduced in 7.2 - https://blog.cloudron.io/cloudron-7-2-released/ . We have the docs for this at https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#email . I have adjusted the text there a bit.

    It's also not always about the number of users as it is plugins and search and any maintenance scripts that can use more memory.

    I was able to fix this by deactivating all the plugins after the yarn remove from above and then restarting. So I guess its an upstream issue.

  • Is restarting the app through Cloudron the same as Rebuild and Restart?

    Restarting the app via Cloudron will essentially re-run this start script https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/nodebb-app/-/blob/master/start.sh?ref_type=heads

    It does a bit more than what the internal rebuild does, so rebuilding and restarting from within nodebb if it asks for is preferred. Also it will put a nicer placeholder page with the forum style instead of the generic Cloudron one.

    @L3oN Have you already tried to refresh and try to login again ? This forum is NodeBB too and we haven't seen this issue. Have you installed any plugins ?

    @saikarthik ah ok, thanks. I guess you have to ask upstream why it's this way.

    @saikarthik said in What plugins do you use?:

    What plugins does the Cloudron forum use?

    We generally avoid plugins in any software and not just NodeBB. I don't want to go on a rant but plugins are probably one of the main reasons selfhosting is such a challenge. Oh well... I recommend sticking to the bare essentials.

    That makes sense, and I support the idea. The error message points the blame to the API and not the DNS. Modifying the error message to check the DNS first definitely saves time on the troubleshooting end and on yours.

    Even if it's the exception the it's worth considering how much time it takes to check for each step during the process. Anyways thanks for the help. You can close this thread 🙂

    @julian Brilliant! I am certain it is both destined and necessary for the future of free speech, decentralisation, and creator-owned content. Thank for your vision and taking on these things. It gives me hope 🙂
