So it looks likes Disqus is going the way of Facebook/Google and will begin removing sites from their network. They already did this to Daily Stormer and Occidental Dissent. I want to move Wordpress comments on my blogs to a open source solution like NodeBB or Discourse. I hear that NodeBB is more lightweight in terms of server resources at a cost of features, but since I'm aiming for a comment replacement, I don't need extra features.
The problem is that "next generation" forum software not based on php/mysql. NodeBB uses a different database (redis). I read that you can have redis and mysql on the same server.
Here are the installation instructions for NodeBB on CentOS:
https://nodebb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/...entos.html
I have two questions:
-What are the implications for installing NodeBB on a LEMP server that already has Wordpress. Can it be done?
-Is it possible to install NodeBB on a different server and use its API (or Wordpress API features) to integrate them with the NodeBB Wordpress plugin. I don't want to put heavy load on one server since we get occasional viral articles.
So for example I could set up http://comments.rooshv.com to forward to a NodeBB install on a different server (e.g. Digital Ocean container). This would eliminate a lot of same server problems.
