How can I migrate from redis to postgresql/mongodb
-
@JaredBusch Hey Jared, are you not already using PostgreSQL? I am pretty sure tools for migrating from Redis to Mongo?
I would stay away from Discourse. Ping @omega on that. I suspect he will weigh in here with a few "experiences" to share.

do not like not being on a "normal" design anymore...
By "normal", are you referencing PHP and MariaSQL here? Kind of a nightmare security track record there which gives me, at least, pause. I've not used PHP for anything serious in over decade and am told it has gotten "better". Maybe.
If not NodeBB and PHP base app is looking more attractive then I think I'd be kicking the tires on XenForo?

My bad. Seems NodeBB folks offer this for a small fee:
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/10506/migrate-redis-to-mongodb.
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1907
Although I suspect you'll need to adjust for inflation...
Found this 3rd party script here, fwiw:
https://github.com/hyperzlib/nodebb-database-migrate
Good luck!

No, in 2015, the install options were redis or mongo, with redis the actual default. I didn't feel the need to use Mongo as my site would never be large and redis could easily handle it.

By normal, I mean not using the normal NodeBB options that are default today. That means Ubuntu and Mongo according to the docs. https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/ubuntu/

They have for years. I first asked this question years ago when they switched to mongo as default.

There are others. None of them have been updated in 2+ years.

@JaredBusch Yeah, but I'd thought I remembered seeing a free one somewhere on GitHub. Don't think it was that other one I linked though.

In our conversation from News Year's Day 2021.

Yeah, seems most folks needing such got to it a bit sooner... Heh...
Still, maybe one of those can be updated and adapted?

Found a pull request for
nodebb-plugin-importthat gives it postgresql capability.
https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import/pull/240So I think I will try that an use the "vanilla" import and see what works.
That is a project for the weekend when beer is involved.

@JaredBusch Good news for you! Keep us posted, eh?
I am less than keen on mongo these days. At least the corp greed and licensing changes aspect - because if they pull that crap once, they've set precedent, and it is only matter of time before the next round of fsck'ery. Kind of like the old "Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me." adage. Otherwise it pretty much rocks.
