Deploy NodeBB with ServerKit
A modern forum platform your community actually owns
Open-source alternative to Discourse (hosted) and Reddit
NodeBB is a real-time forum with modern UX, themes, plugins, and ActivityPub federation on its roadmap of open community standards. Running your own forum means your community's years of discussion can never be paywalled, sold, or deleted by a platform.

One-click deploy
NodeBB is a ServerKit template: click install, point the link at your own panel, and confirm. ServerKit provisions the containers, volumes, and reverse proxy for you — serverkit.ai never connects to your server.
