    @2TonWaffle ah, yes if you turn on the filters to "allow list" then it denies stuff from servers not on the list!

    @zephyr99 That will typically cause a problem with either the MongoDB install or with the corruption of data. You could try to reinstall MongoDB or clear the data directory and reinstall it correctly prior to moving ahead with the NodeBB installation.

    @Ridhima-Dande To move NodeBB across AWS accounts, you must move your EC2 instance, RDS (if applicable), and any S3 storage or other services associated with your NodeBB installation. Be sure to back up your databases and data before beginning the transfer process so you don't lose anything!

    Another reply. I've refactored the leaderboard plugin and added a widget. Also updated to run on 4.x. [image: 1739466131026-0b3c5e7e-7a80-4e6b-b99c-42d7b144c36a-image.png]

    @eeeee NodeBB can technically send mail straight out of the box, although that's obviously not going to be really good deliverability-wise because your IP is unknown (or worse) and you're not sending any authentication-style headers, both of which are baseline assumptions that need to be met otherwise your emails just end up in the spam bin. We use the SendGrid plugin here, with its generous free tier. NodeBB doesn't send too many emails, so that should be ok to get started.

    I don't think there is any documentation for it, if you want you can look at the client side code we have to make requests using a csrf_token, or our tests in the nodebb tests folder.

    Thank you @julian for your answer Indeed, I already use the badge system but I would like to display it a little better with a medal or a trophy on the user's profile page and that can be personalized and customizable easily via the ACP and that the reward can also be added manually easily by an administrator via the ACP or other without having to resort to the customization plugin which poses a problem during updates and upgrades. After research, I found plugins that would correspond more to what I am looking for: https://github.com/toxuin/nodebb-plugin-trophies https://github.com/NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-awards A kind of mix of the two in short

    Cool! I was starting to suspect as much, but couldn't discount that I just missed a toggle somewhere.

    @[email protected] Yep! Still this link. Just note there's no settings panel (all just in the plug-in init function), and you'll have to git clone and npm link it to test, since its not ready for the usual method yet https://github.com/Arachnibot/nodebb-tag-to-category/tree/dev
  • Should I use the Linux-libre kernel or no?

    Ok but Linux-libre does not solve the security risk. It just makes hardware not work. You might as well say that any kernel module is a security risk (be it Free or proprietary) and it's better to turn it off. Also unlike the blobs which "can cause risks", Linux-libre causes risks. It removes proprietary microcode updates. So the outdated (also proprietary) microcode installed on your computer leaves you vulnerable to things like Spectre. This is potentially not an issue if OP uses ARM for example but using Linux-libre for security reasons is a really bad joke.

    @Aragon-Burner oh I thought you were developing a plugin and couldn't load the plugin page on the ACP. Looks like you are having trouble loading the /admin/extend/plugins page. Can you load /admin/development/info? If so can you post a screenshot of that page.
