@SgtBurden No good reason and I havent used Robomongo in a while. I just remember it being very confusing. Mongochef is similar enough to a mysql client not to freak me out 😉 I did the query that way because I was just trying things out - your way makes more sense in this context 🙂
How to unistall nodeBB completely?
-
I deleted nodeBB folder and cloned the latest version for a fresh installation. when I was installing nodeBB, it recognize the old database and used it!
What is the right way to remove nodeBB fully: database, files, etc?
-
You need to clear the database you are using, for redis you could use the
flushdbcommand and for mongodb I believe itDropDatabase. -
If you used Redis in the first install, deleting the DB file in /var/lib/redis should do the trick.
-
@planner Important to note that if Redis is running, then the
.rdbfile is a disk-persisted backup, so even if deleted, if the redis server is running, it will eventually save back the same database data into the .rdb file. -
Good to know.
