I am having this issue with my self hosted NodeBB any insight here that can help me ?

Fresh Install using Nginx as proxy

Emad R

Solved seem was related to npm app I installed but didnt understand what it will do, its called forever and you can , it was duplicating the NodeBB service.

I removed it and rebooted the server and the npm log seems correct:

[deprecated] `String.prototype.rtrim` is deprecated as of NodeBB v1.5; use `utils.rtrim` instead.
