Importer stop after one hour

[Freelancer]

Hello guys,

I have a huge database +100GB and am trying to import this forum into NodeBB.. The problem is the database is huge and while importing after an hour.. Admin panel will log out and thus importing also fail.. After logging in... the importing already stopped and failed.

Any idea?

best regards

You should be able to just continue the import from where it left off. I think you can set the admin timeout duration in the ACP as well if you wish.

@PitaJ How can I do that please?

Is there a way to run this on a command line instead of admin panel?

I'm pretty sure the importer runs even if you aren't logged into the admin panel. If you get logged out, the importer still runs in the background.

Do you see any errors in the logs? I'm pretty sure to continue an import you just click "don't flush NodeBB db, just import" and it will continue.

@Freelancer What forum platform are you migrating from with this import into NodeBB?

@omega Well, I'm trying to convert from vB version 4.

@Freelancer Is this you? https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/10632

Disable the admin timeout and that should resolve it.
