Solution
I had to add redis since it's not installed by default:
npm install
npm install redis
npm install connect-redis
npm install redis-server
ls -d node_modules/nodebb* | xargs -n1 basename | xargs npm update
node app --upgrade

3 restarts in 10 seconds, most likely an error on startup. Halting.

Hmm, it sounds like something is calling out to a method that doesn't exist in the version of Socket.IO that Nodebb uses. My guess would be one of those incompatible plugins it listed. I'd start one by one turning them off and see if that fixes it. No guarantees though that is problem, its just what I would try next, so you can wait for someone who knows more about the error to respond if you want.

Working now! I did not have the good version of redis or connect-redis

With this:
npm install redis@~0.10.1 connect-redis@~2.0.0

Working ATM!
http://forum.maximumtrainer.com:4567/

Gonna test that stuff, really cool that it worked so fast

maximus123

I think I found a bug with 0.9.0

If you click a post in the list:
http://forum.maximumtrainer.com:4567/category/24/power-curve
and hit the BACK button in the browser, you go back to the list of topic but nothing is shown with NAN

maximus123

Should have checked,
Seems like the emailer plugin I was using is not compatible with 0.9.0?
https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-emailer-postmark

Looking for a solution...

julian

Standby...

julian

Please try 1.0.0 of the postmark plugin and report back if it works.

maximus123

Edited: Need to leave local login ON or the login page does not show

Will try postmark plugin now

maximus123

Updated to the new persona theme fixed the issue with NAN and BACK button not reloading forum post.
Will stick to persona

maximus123

Found a bug with the website in PROFILE section;

The website address seems to be converted to HTML code and result in a bad link, example with my profile:
WEBSITE HTTPS://MAXIMUMTRAINER.COM/
For some reason it works here but on the forum it shows '&X2F; code

Weird it's okay now after I edited it back, maybe the dump.rdb correctly saved it now

maximus123

PostMark working as expected!

julian

Excellent, thank you @maximus123

maximus123

Thanks a lot for your help Julian, would have not been so smooth without you

If a plugin is not listed in the plugin interface, can you still install it with command line?
I liked this one, to save space and backing up image profile pictures:
https://github.com/barisusakli/nodebb-plugin-imgur
But can't seem to find it with search plugin page

julian

Yes, that plugin should be compatible with v0.9.0. You can install it via npm.

maximus123

Great everything is working and I'm happy with the changes!

Up and running:
http://forum.maximumtrainer.com:4567/

Have a great day!

julian

Make sure to keep regular backups and secure your database

maximus123

I have a backup every day of dump.rdb
About security, I haven't done much since the database and the forum are on the same server, in a non public area. Should be enough? Thanks!

julian

As long as the database is only accessible via localhost, and you can only log into your server via ssh key (or a very strong password), that should be adequate.

maximus123

Exactly! Learned a lot today with your help. I was afraid to upgrade but once you know how it works it's pretty easy.
Keep up the good work, nodebb rocks
