Upgrading from v0.6.1 to v0.9.0

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:

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.

Up and running:

Have a great day!

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

I should probably install the anti-spammer stuff. I just have captcha but noticed some random user registering (porn site, etc.) WIll look to do that in the future.
