      The bit about the admin user has changed somewhere around 1.4. Now it makes a random user for you rather than prompting you to make one.

        I wrote this against 1.4.0, so either 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 (current).

          I didn't do a raw install of 1.4.1 so no guess there. Just did a 1.4.2 and saw it.

            @scottalanmiller what would be the best method to launch nodebb on reboot?

            I can think of a couple things to do, but what is "best practice" for something like this.

              I'm using the crontab, it's flexible and easy. Since there is no existing boot scripts for NodeBB and it happens after Nginx fires up.

              Best practice would really be to write a start up script and add it to the systemctl system. But really, that just seems like overkill to me. Because the system (in my case) is dedicated to NodeBB and all NodeBB instances are listed in a single location, it's incredibly obvious and easy to manage.

                I guess someone should document this process one of these days..

                  Yes, but on my system the folder is not /opt/nodebb but is /opt/sitename so that it is very clear what is starting and what the order is.

                    I was following the example listed in this thread. I used /opt/nodebb for the instructions

                      Note, it apparently detects the previous install and updates with git anyway.

                        This guide does it this way

                         git clone git://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm
                         printf "\n\n# NVM\nif [ -s ~/.nvm/nvm.sh ]; then\n\tNVM_DIR=~/.nvm\n\tsource ~/.nvm/nvm.sh\nfi" >> ~/.bashrc
                         NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
                         source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

                              It's a bit different, now.

                                Just remember mongodb and nodejs can be installed natively on Fedora.
