How to migrate all data from Redis to MongoDB plese help me

Right now you can't do this without writing an exporter and then using https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import to import the data back.

Can give me some links to know more about this exporter as i am newbie here. please give me simple example of exporter?

@suraj There isn't one at the moment. Is there a need for you to migrate to MongoDB?

[remcokatz]

@julian just like @suraj I would like to transfer to MongoDB as well.

There are multiple sources on the internet (and this board) that are very clear about MongoDB being the better option compared to Redis. I'm not entirely sure why but it seems to just be that way.

Just to let you guys know, we are running this forum on Redis on a tiny VPS with no problems. So unless you're thinking that you'll scale to a few million MAU you shouldn't have to worry - my two cents.

That said, would be nice to have a NodeBB DBAL converter, but currently we do not have any plans for that, perhaps in the near future.
