Managed NodeBB, looked after for you
NodeBB is a real-time forum built on Node.js. It needs a process manager, a database, a proxy that supports WebSockets and regular updates.
NodeBB: what we look after
- NodeBB kept running with a process manager behind HTTPS
- MongoDB, PostgreSQL or Redis tuned and backed up
- Proxy settings for WebSockets
- Plugin and core updates with a backup first
When NodeBB goes wrong
- Live updates that stop because of proxy settings
- A rebuild that fails after a plugin change
- Memory growth on a busy forum
Who uses managed NodeBB
Communities that want a fast, real-time forum.
What it needs
Node.js, MongoDB or PostgreSQL with Redis, and 2 GB of RAM or more.
What we check first
Before we change anything on a new NodeBB setup, we look at these, and we tell you what we found in plain words:
- Which database NodeBB uses and the date of its last backup
- Whether the proxy passes WebSocket traffic correctly
- Whether the process restarts by itself and how its memory behaves over time
From order to a watched NodeBB setup
NodeBB is part of every managed plan. Besides what is listed above, each plan includes outside checks every minute, off-server backups, security hardening and a team that answers your tickets. The price counts servers, not apps.
Tell us what you run
Order a managed plan and list your servers and the apps on them, or write to us first with questions.
We look before we touch
We check what is installed, what is out of date and what is not backed up, and tell you in plain words.
Backups and watching first
Backups and outside checks are set up before any change, so we can always go back.
Then the steady work
Updates, security, tuning and fixes follow, and you can ask us anything by ticket.
Plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server. GST is added at checkout. See all managed plans.
NodeBB support: your questions answered
Which database should NodeBB use?
MongoDB or PostgreSQL work well for production. We recommend one after hearing about your size.
Can you handle the upgrade between major versions?
Yes, on a copy first, then the live forum at a quiet time.
Is NodeBB covered by the managed plans?
Yes. The managed plans count servers, not applications, so NodeBB on your server is covered with no extra price per app. Plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and GST is added at checkout.
