How do I upgrade NodeBB without destroying Data & images?
-
Hello. When I updated NodeBB from 1. 16.1 to 1.16.2, I must've done something different than the process shown at the docs, because I basically wiped everything that wasn't inside of MongoDB including all images and plugins. So I'm wondering how I am supposed to upgrade when the next version comes around since the docs don't explain very well.
Thank you in advance. -
What did you lose? 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.

@dunlix you could lose installed plugins, but that's unlikely. You certainly wouldn't lose activated plugins.
Did you lose uploads? What plugins did you lose?

@pitaj I've already fixed everything, as my site is small,. and it was a product of my own laziness not backing up images. I don't remember what plugins, not sure about the activated ones i think all of the non-stock plugins got removed.

The only things that it can conceive of that are not in the database are uploads, which you can back up before an upgrade according to the documents you referenced.
