    Hello,

    I have a test NodeBB forum, running on Digital Ocean. In this instance, I am changing certain settings through the Admin panel:

    Installing and activating plugins Modifying settings such as list of categories

    I am planning now to install a new forum instance, production one, also on Digital Ocean. What is the best way to copy forum settings from test to production (just plugins and settings, without users and posts)? Note that I would like to make this "settings update" on a regular basis.

    Thank you.

    @PitaJ Sorry I'm a little late responding here. I've used systemd as defined below, which works fine, and survives a rebuilt and restart

    [Unit] Description=Sudonix Documentation=https://docs.nodebb.org After=system.slice multi-user.target mongod.service [Service] Type=forking User=sudonix StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog SyslogIdentifier=nodebb WorkingDirectory=/home/sudonix/nodebb PIDFile=/home/sudonix/nodebb/pidfile ExecStart=/usr/bin/env node loader.js Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

    Many thanks for all the help and support. Greatly appreciated.

    If you have a lot of categories you can use the copy to all categories option in the category privileges page.

    @dunlix I'm already using a custom theme, but my site has it's own login system where the user is shown logged in at the top -- this would not be possible if i put it into a nodebb theme. Also session-sharing and iframe is already working perfectly.

    Make sure you stop the redis server before you overwrite the database dump. Otherwise, when you restart, it'll just overwrite your new db with the old db in memory!
