    ShardS

    @baris

    So I have looked at this in greater detail and here are the problems 1 I see.

    The sortedset really only records two bits of information: the UID and the filename. If anything more is needed the filesystem will have to be queried and logic added to evaluate the file. My view is I'd rather store this in the DB and pick it up in a single query than collect the data from the filesystem on the pageload. This process lacks the post validation check for uploads. This leaves debris in both the database and on the file system. I didn't spot a cleanup system that might take care of this.

    1 These are from the perspective of the problem I think I am trying to solve, aside from the couple I saw that are duplicates of issues I created in my own efforts.

    @julian Thanks!

    umm.. I did insert data menually in database.
    like this,
    db.objects.insert({
    ... "_key" : "user:6",
    ... "username" : "test2",
    ... "userslug" : "test2",
    ... "email" : "[email protected]",
    ... "joindate" : 1525421227139.0,
    ... "lastonline" : 1525421227139.0,
    ... "picture" : "",
    ... "fullname" : "",
    ... "location" : "",
    ... "birthday" : "",
    ... "website" : "",
    ... "signature" : "",
    ... "uploadedpicture" : "",
    ... "profileviews" : 0,
    ... "reputation" : 0,
    ... "postcount" : 0,
    ... "topiccount" : 0,
    ... "lastposttime" : 0,
    ... "banned" : 0,
    ... "status" : "online",
    ... "uid" : 6,
    ... "password" : "$2a$12$buM7xOHIJdy.RK.eTmBph.EzPAIirzTjjDsLHjG/Y7Ogs0CvQlZES",
    ... "passwordExpiry" : 0
    ... })

    but I can't login to my nodebb project. That appear 403 error.
    Do you know why?

    sorry, I can't speak english well.

    I have the write api plugin installed as well as the question and answer plugin. We are successfully creating topics and posts. Is it possible to create a topic as a question? I tried adding isQuestion (equals 1) to the POST body when creating the topic but it was ignored. Would the write-api have to be forked and updated to support the optional value of isQuestion? It seems clear in the question and answer plugin that it doesn't create/expose any write api of its own.

    Maybe should show some information as to why it's your best post? E.g. views/replies/upvotes.

    I imagine it's purely based on upvotes. None of NodeBB's subjective algorithms are complex in any way, really 😆 (mainly talking about "popular" here)

    Hosted NodeBBs now backed up using Tarsnap

    Glad to report that as of today, April 25th, all instances of our Premium Hosted platform benefit from backups stored via the Tarsnap backup service.

    Our previous backup solution consisted of local file system backups of each instance's database contents, persisted to the local file system. This had two shortcomings:

    Backups were not hosted off-site (a big no-no! 😦) Uploaded files in /public/uploads were not backed up

    I'm glad to say that both of these shortcomings have now been addressed. Luckily, we have never had to restore a NodeBB instance from back up, thanks to our reliable hosting from DigitalOcean. Hopefully, we'll never have to 😄
