NodeBB admin panel forum software update?

    Are there plans to have an easy way to update ones website, i.e. through pressing an update button, as opposed to having to do not-always-straightforward file manipulations on the server. If there's anything to draw from modern web applications, this is one of those things. 👍

    At this moment, for example, my board is 0.7.2, and my web developer is gone. You may have already implemented this in 8.1 but I wouldn't know, since I haven't a clue how to update... xD

    We do offsite installations and upgrades, message [email protected]

    Of course, we do have docs so you should try it yourself just back up everything first!

    Edit: to answer your original question, we do plan on building an upgrade button into our hosting plans control panel - right now we just upgrade customers manually. It's probably impossible (or hard) to make an app upgrade itself via acp, we would need to make the acp a standalone application (we've toyed around the idea, but not worth the development time)

    Hello, It would be quite helpful if the plugins that were available for download from the admin panel were required to indicate the NodeBB version they were compatible with, a date of when it was last updated, or things of that nature so that quickly at a glance you can see if something is older or not compatible anymore as simply having the plugins current version is not that helpful with nothing to compare that against. Thanks, -MH

    @julian Thank you so much for reaching out! Fingers crossed that the price is somewhere close to what we can afford

    @a_5mith Yes I have already checked it. I have found a docker image created by @nopz, this one is up-to-date. But the official docker image in not! Maybe you (nodebb) should give access to a dockerfile to allow anyone to build a nodebb docker image. EDIT I found the dockerfile, and the problem about this outdated version here. It's outdated because the dockerfile build the image with the v0.5.x version : FROM centos:centos7 MAINTAINER NodeBB Docker Team <[email protected]> # install main packages: RUN yum -y update ; yum clean all RUN yum -y install epel-release tar ; yum clean all RUN yum -y install wget ; yum clean all RUN yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools" RUN yum -y install nodejs git ImageMagick npm RUN yum -y install openssl openssl-devel # clone nodebb and install it RUN cd /opt ; git clone -b v0.5.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB nodebb RUN cd /opt/nodebb ; npm install # Create a nodebb volume VOLUME /opt/nodebb # Define a working directory WORKDIR /opt/nodebb # Expose ports EXPOSE 80 EXPOSE 443 EXPOSE 4567 CMD [ "node", "app.js" ] You should (NodeBB) update this dockerfile ! End of the EDIT Now, with the nopz/nodebb image I just had a problem about plugin persistence. But the first installation is so much easier and automatic with just one docker. Thanks for your answer by the way

    @a_5mith if you are quoting from a different topic it puts in a link to that topic but it was using the old format which is fixed now. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1840
