NodeBB 1.19.3

Solved Performance
  • Hello 🙂

    I find that since version 1.19.3 of NodeBB, the refresh of the pages is much longer than usual.

    I did a test with the same config on my VM and in 1.19.2, the refresh was much faster.
    idem to connect to ACP.

    Am I the only one who noticed this?

  • @phenomlab

    I find the problem Mark 😉

    The error message indicated this path :

    http://localhost:4567/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/styles.css?v=6983dobg16u

    I change the path url on config.json

    And all it’s good 🙂

    Weird, I didn’t have to change that path before 1.19.3

    But this does not prevent the problem from a clean install with Emoji Plugin


    EDIT: After test, that resolv the problem installation for 1.18.x but not for 1.19.x (I have other error message when I run ./nodebb Setup

    For resume: NodeJS 16_x with 1.18.x is ok

  • @DownPW I’ve not upgraded yet but will do so at some point today.

    EDIT- just upgraded. Not seeing any slowness yet, but will continue to monitor 😕

  • Seems to be my VM virtual disk the problem.

    I try to reinstall Nodebb, very odd i have an internal server error

    here is what I do:

    #
    # Installing Node.js
    #
    
    apt install curl
    curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
    sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
    
    #
    # Database: # Installing MongoDB

    V5
    curl -sSL https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc  -o mongoserver.asc
    gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./mongo_key_temp.gpg --import ./mongoserver.asc
    gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./mongo_key_temp.gpg --export > ./mongoserver_key.gpg
    sudo mv mongoserver_key.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
    
    wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -
    
    echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian buster/mongodb-org/5.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-5.0.list
    
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
    
    sudo systemctl start mongod
    sudo systemctl status mongod
    
    mongo
    use admin
    > db.createUser( { user: "admin", pwd: "nodebb", roles: [ { role: "root", db: "admin" } ] } )
    
    use nodebb
    > db.createUser( { user: "nodebb", pwd: "nodebb", roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "nodebb" }, { role: "clusterMonitor", db: "admin" } ] } )
    
    quit()
    
    sudo nano /etc/mongod.conf
    	security:
    		authorization: enabled
    
    sudo systemctl restart mongod
    
    
    #
    # Installing NodeBB
    #
    
    sudo apt install -y git
    
    cd /home/nodebb
    git clone -b v1.18.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
    cd nodebb
    
    ./nodebb setup
    ./nodebb start
    

    very odd

  • @DownPW And did that work ?

  • nope, i have test the installation for 2 times

    this error when access:

    internal server error

    very odd, I’ve never had any problems when installing nodebb

  • @DownPW If you issue ./nodebb start does this work if you then issue ./nodebb log ? Sounds like a NGINX issue to me

  • No nginx conf

    ./nodebb sytart = no error

    ./nodebb log when i access

  • @DownPW Potentially dumb question, but why is the path /home/nodebb/nodebb ?

    Also, why are you trying to install the 18.x branch when you should be using 19.x ?

    I see

    cd /home/nodebb
    git clone -b v1.18.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
    cd nodebb
    

    This should be

    cd /home/nodebb
    git clone -b v1.19.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
    cd nodebb
    
  • I have test to install 1.19.x too and i have error too

  • @DownPW and you are executing ./nodebb setup from the correct directory ?

  • I think they really have a problem on the github and coincidentally it’s a plugin on which they had big problems that was in question. (emoji)

  • @DownPW Looking at the error message, I’d say you’re right.

  • @phenomlab

    here a gif for the problem of perf.
    On a clean install of nodeBB on a clean install server VM

    The problem is just when I refresh the page entierly or ACP access

    alt text

    No problem on 1.18.x or 1.19.2

    very odd

  • @DownPW Looks like that’s waiting for a response from something. Have you run this site through the F12 developer tools -> Network tab to see where the delay is ?

  • @phenomlab

    Thanks for the tip

    chance 😉

  • @DownPW 8ms is nothing - less than one second… ?

  • @phenomlab

    you not see at the good place 🙂
    EDIT:

    dcba37d8-db4f-4b8d-93a9-ac883171bebc-image.png

    coincidence? Emoji CSS failed !
    I don’t believe

    I think we put the finger on something

  • @DownPW Yes, you’re right. For some strange reason, that CSS file is not being served - but should be on your server if you check the path.

  • yes it still here

    EDIT:

    I have remove the directory when I have the problem of install with 1.18.x

    But when I upgrade to 1.19.3, he have reinstalled by default
