Help needed - nodejs and docker - Nodebb forum running in Nethserver

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

Hi @liviu,

I’d recommend the direct install way, nodejs and redis should be available at least via epel, there’s a package nethserver-redis. I recommend a VM for testing, it makes life easier, just revert to snapshot when something goes wrong…

Found some install help (nodejs is installed from source in this example but older version from epel may also fit):

Docker would be really nice but there are still some problems:

What about Docker on NethServer 7?

We already have such support )https://github.com/NethServer/nethserver-firewall-base/blob/bcb8148c60d5df4685c02c65d4033f34f21e8101/root/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf/60options#L48), but it’s not even documented because it doesn’t play well. If you want to try it: config setprop firewall Docker enabled But you will surely face many issues. Still, I think Docker is a must have somewhere in the near future.
