Merging nodebb forums

oPignonLibre last edited by

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a recommended way to merge two nodebb forums ?

I converted some threads using the mybb import plugin but the original db was so big I ran into issues (plugin crashing) and couldn't convert the whole forum. I limited my import to the most popular threads, keeping only posts less than 1y old and it worked. But it was so time consuming that I decided to upgrade nodebb instance and made it available to users. Since the import plugin requires nodebb v1.0.0 my idea would be to create a new nodebb instance with its own mongodb and import the remaining threads/posts, then upgrade it to the same level as our "production" one and try to merge the imported threads to the "live" nodebb.

Has any nodebb merge been done before ? Suggestions ?

Thanks
Thomas

@Violing I was able to make it work with /forum; no ^~ required. Given what @yariplus stated this seems relevant. My conf: location /forum/ { proxy_pass http://172.17.2.3:4567; proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; # Socket.IO Support proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; } Indented lines are ones that I copied from my other blocks that weren't present in the suggested.

@felirami I have it almost working properly on Digital Ocean, see if it works for you https://github.com/doppioslash/docker-builds My problem is, it's not answering on port 80 from my custom domain, even though it's exposed.

Check your Nginx settings. One of my systems broke on upgrade because of that. https://community.nodebb.org/post/57525

@Giggiux That is correct. It will keep restarting until mongo/redis has started. I added mongod.service in the After parameter and does startup normally. I know mongod takes a minute or 2 to start, as I have tested this and nodebb is in the failed state until mongod has fully started. Sometimes mongod will show that it has started but nodebb fails to start. I just waited a couple of minutes and checked nodebb again (systemctl status nodebb) and it was up/active, without my intervention
