Host Transfer?

[humanmadeaccount]

If there is any tutorials on transferring into new host?

I was trying to link my backup file (dump.rdp / uploads folder) with fresh setup nodebb on new host but nothing happen.

Could you elaborate on this bit.

When using Redis, all of the data lives in Redis, plus the public/uploads folder.

1. Zip all that up: tar -czf nodebb.tar.gz -C /path/to/redis/dumps dump.rdb -C /path/to/nodebb/public uploads
2. Transfer it to a new server
3. On new server, stop redis: service redis-server stop
4. Uncompress and copy dump.rdb over the existing db, restore the uploads/ folder
5. Start redis.

Thank you guys, anyway can I use filezilla instead of tar commands to transfer files into another host?

EDIT: i mean transfer files without compressing via tar commands?

Yes, no reason that wouldn't work

I managed to migrate BitBangers from one server to another with 0 downtime. We use Mongo though.
Felt good man.

Shouldn't you run BGSAVE on redis first?

@Scuzz I try and avoid politics whenever possible. I've seen far too many arguments regarding one parties policies over the other. I do agree that the NHS shouldn't be privatised however. It will turn into the American Healthcare system if that were to happen. Although interestingly enough a friend of mine lives in Australia and got a job workin the G20 summit last week. Shared the lift with a couple of prime ministers, including our own David Cameron.
