The only things not in the database that is can think of are uploads, which the docs you linked describe how to back up before an upgrade.
Advices to scale NodeBB for a growing (big) number of visitors ?
-
Hi! I'm a long time user of NodeBB (since 2014) and my forum has seen a sharp rise in use this year (with the growing cryptocurrencies field)
(it's cryptofr.com)
I think you don't see that everywhere:
Yesterday we had an epic all-time high of 16 000 unique visitors
It's really great but I see that the forum is getting slower and slower.
We are on a server with 8 GB Ram
Do you know of some possibilities to keep its rapidity ?

Thanks !!

My forum is still on redis only, is it a better idea to migrate to Mongo ?
-
If you want to spend less money, Mongo is a wise choice with few drawbacks. Otherwise with added content you'll have to add more and more RAM for Redis to work.

I know historically NodeBB offered a paid migration from Redis to Mongo, is that still the case?
-
That is the case.

I have no problem with investing more money, so I will stay with redis. Thanks for the advice

Good News! NodeBB is looking for benevolent donors
