Solved Cannot install Nodebb theme: npm install nobebb-theme-timuu

[chxmontoro]

I am having read errors while trying to install a nodebb theme. Could you please help me resolve. The command is: npm install nobebb-theme-timuu

See error below.-

npm ERR! rofs EROFS: read-only file system, mkdir '/root/.npm/nodebb-theme-timuu'
npm ERR! rofs This is most likely not a problem with npm itself
npm ERR! rofs and is related to the file system being read-only.

Most of the docker container files and directories are read-only.

Have you tried installing it in repair-mode?

@chxmontoro Open a web terminal and

    cd /app/code
    /usr/local/bin/gosu cloudron:cloudron npm install nodebb-theme-timuu

Then, restart NodeBB.

BTW, the docs for this are here: https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/nodebb/

On this note, I'm trying to install nodebb-plugin-sso-open-ldap with

/usr/local/bin/gosu cloudron:cloudron npm install nodebb-plugin-sso-open-ldap

but then I get

gyp WARN install got an error, rolling back install
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: EROFS: read-only file system, mkdir '/home/cloudron/.node-gyp'
gyp ERR! System Linux 4.4.0-166-generic

gyp ERR! cwd /run/nodebb/node_modules/dtrace-provider
gyp ERR! node -v v8.12.0
gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.8.0

What should I do?

Alternative question: Can we get built-in LDAP support in the app package?

[girish]

@yusf Would an LDAP enabled forum only allow LDAP users and have external registration disabled?

[girish]

@yusf said in Cannot install Nodebb theme: npm install nobebb-theme-timuu:

/usr/local/bin/gosu cloudron:cloudron npm install nodebb-plugin-sso-open-ldap

I have pushed an update

[yusf]

@girish Ideally, both auth mechanisms would be available for use. Or one or the other. I really like how it’s done in Gitea, where LDAP is just one authorization methods out of several.
