@patrick-sébastien-coulombe why are you running as root/sudo? unsafe-perm shouldn't be necessary.

Anyways, I think that issue is fixed in this commit: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/29e3ab247d336220cdddd123fc8703a3a97b1013

So run git cherry-pick 29e3ab247d336220cdddd123fc8703a3a97b1013 to pull that fix in.

@patrick-sébastien-coulombe try running ./nodebb build (hopefully it'll complete successfully, if not show the errors here) then re-running the upgrade again.

@patrick-sébastien-coulombe do you get that when you re-run it?

Patrick Sébastien Coulombe

@pitaj No (it works)! What version is recommended for nodejs. I am using v12 should I use v10?

PitaJ

@patrick-sébastien-coulombe NodeBB v1.14.x supports:

Node 10
Node 12
Node 14

It's recommended you use the latest LTS (even versions), so in this case that would Node 14.

Patrick Sébastien Coulombe

@pitaj Fantastic. The main problem now is with the url, clicking on the menu categorie (or any icon ithe menu). How bad is it?

PitaJ

@patrick-sébastien-coulombe that appears to be this issue, which doesn't seem to be fixed yet.

https://community.nodebb.org/topic/14932/strange-thing-in-navigation-urls/6

You should be able to fix it, at least temporarily, by modifying them manually in the ACP. Name should be [[global:header.categories]]
