@julian think I have it working by using npm config set legacy-peer-deps true

EDIT: Confirmed - up and running.

DownPW

@DownPW Exactly.

This is what I do for updates:

git fetch
git stash
git checkout v3.x
git merge origin/v3.x
./nodebb upgrade
git stash drop

I switched my dev forum from v3.0.0-rc.2 to v3.0.0 without any problems.

git fetch
git reset --hard v3.0.0
./nodebb upgrade

Restart NodeBB an i am on v3.0.0

DownPW

maybe a tutorial for 2.x to v3.0.0

@DownPW yeah there's really not that much to change Those commands will do it (although you'll be on Persona still, and not Harmony, but that's a ./nodebb reset -t away.

It seems that the client side methods (console/Tampermonkey etc, not in plugin) app.alert, app.alertSuccess and app.alertError are gone (they are undefined)
What is the substitute for that?
Thanks

<baris>

const  alerts = await app.require('alerts');
alerts.error('message');

instead, upgrading from docker image: ghcr.io/nodebb/nodebb:2.8 to image: ghcr.io/nodebb/nodebb:3.0 I get this: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/usr/src/app/node_modules/csurf/package.json'

edit: switched to normal install and I don't get this error anymore

I made it!

Upgraded from nodebb v1.17 on Ubuntu 18.04 with mongodb 4.0 to nodebb v3.2.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 with mongodb 5.0. Used node v18 to update nodebb.

Had a few minor issues (getting rid of an expired mongodb 4.0 key), thinking of using npm install --global npm@6 to avoid any issue with plugins updates (emoiji, markdown).

And voilà!

Thanks for all the work, the new admin dashboard is sexy as hell.
Keep up the good work and enjoy your summer!
