Hello , How to migrate NodeBB between servers?

[ccd2s]

I'm having problems with my old server and have to migrate to a new one within a month, so how do I migrate NodeBB between servers without any errors?

@ccd2s

1. take a database dump, and reimport it to the new server (build indices for Mongo)
2. Clone repo to new server, checkout the same commit hash as old server
3. Copy over package.json, config.json, and everything in public/uploads

That should be all you need...

rsync over node_modules if you really want to install to be the same.

@julian I use postgres database, should postgres build indices after migrate the DB data?

[julian]

Sorry, I am not certain about whether you need to rebuild indices with PostgreSQL.

@julian I tried, there are no errors in the logs but nothing in the forum.

@ccd2s looks like NodeBB isn't reading from the right database
