[SOLVED] Migrating old nodebb - need advises

[doekia]

Hi all,

Here is my situation, I run nodebb 1.6.1 over nodejs v6.11.5
I'd like to migrate.

Is there anyone kind enought to advise me regarding the steps I should run first.
i.e: Do I upgrade my nodejs first, to which version, ...

Thanks for your time.

There's no particular reason why an old version of NodeBB wouldn't be able to run on a newer version of Node.js.

Back up your db, and then update Node.js, and then follow the steps in https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/upgrade/

@julian
Thank you.
I was a little confused by this part of the documentation:

git reset --hard origin/v0.3.x    # Replace v0.3.x with the branch name!

But finally I made it w/o any issue

Excellent job

@doekia Glad to hear the upgrade was completed with minimal issues
