@pichalite I am still confused that. it need update after install. But our node_module files always in ignore... so I don't thinks it's a good way to put plugs into node_module....
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. -
@dunlix What steps did you exactly do?
-
@dogs hmm don't remember exactly, but around the part where the docs https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/upgrade/
say this: "If not upgrading between branches (e.g. v1.12.0 to v1.12.1, just run the following commands:" -
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.
-
@pitaj plugins too I’m pretty sure.
-
@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.
