NodeBB v4.11.0 Release Notes

Hi everybody — late last week we released v4.11.0, which contains the following changes:

ActivityPub Specific Fixes

 AP analytics and error pages

New pages have been added to the control panel to display analytics (send/receive counts) and error counts. There is also a new error page that will show error received within the last 24 hours, and their respective payloads. This will aid in debugging federation issues.

Its honestly worrying that keeping this working properly after a migration isn't as easy as it was on the old server. Everything functioned fine then as I worked on the other instances things got worse.

The forums function as forums but are supposed to federate. What made it all confusing was how everything seemed to work normally between my personal circle but no so much beyond it.

If anyone has any thoughts let me know.

@stefano as if you have nothing better to do … does something index-related need a nudge?

A/ seeking "FreeBSD user groups" (non-quoted) <https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/search?q=FreeBSD+user+groups&type=statuses> does not find <https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperri[email protected]/116458512546395480> (2026-04-24)

B/ also, the toot is not found by <https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/search?q=from%3A%40grahamperrin%40billboard.bsd.cafe&type=statuses>.

The toot is visible under <https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperri[email protected]> for logged-in users of BSD Cafe Mastodon. (NLI users get the prompt to redirect.)

Thanks

Looking for advice on MongoDB & Redis optimization with NodeBB clustering

Hey everyone, @julian @baris

I'm running NodeBB in cluster mode (3 workers) with Redis for pub/sub and session sharing with Free Cloudflare paln in front.

My server has 8 GB of RAM and I've noticed MongoDB is consuming around 2.5 GiB on its own and 1.7 Gb for the nodebb 3 workers, leaving very little headroom for the rest of the stack. Redis is also running without any memory cap.

I've been looking into and I wonder if this is OK :

• Reducing the WiredTiger cache (cacheSizeGB in mongod.conf)

Updates to NodeBB's Bug Bounty Program

Since 2017, we've maintained a bug bounty program that awarded responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities on a sliding scale of $64 to $512 based on severity.

Throughout the years we've made some unpublished changes to this bounty program, mostly related to the format (no videos, text only, allowed testing endpoints) and in some cases expanding the scope of covered plugins (e.g. 2factor, web-push).

With the rise of LLMs and the corresponding drop in ability needed to analyze and send in reports, we have been receiving a large increase in reports whose submitters have no ability to defend or support their claims, but are happy to pretend that they do. [...]
