Installing plugins in NodeBB
Hi everyone!
(Request to administrators to move to the appropriate category)
I installed the NodeBB forum and I use cloudron.
I wrote a new plugin for NodeBB, and when I try to install it directly from the terminal I get an error that the files are read-only.
Even when I opened a project on GitHub and uploaded the plugin files there, and tried typing the command:
/usr/local/bin/gosu cloudron:cloudron yarn add nodebb-theme-XXXX
I still got the same error.
Can someone help me figure out where my mistake is?
Thank you! -
You might have to take it up with cloudron, on a standard nodebb installation with a VPS, the user running nodebb will have write permission to the nodebb folder so they can run
npm installnot sure how it works on cloudron. -
You can check out this doc for Cloudron installs. https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/nodebb/

After endless attempts, it turns out that the whole problem was in the plugin itself, and the plugin itself was written for me by ChatGPT, and I can now say with certainty after endless attempts - he can't write plugins at all!
