Updating Nodebb from a very out of date install

[Arc]

Hey! I'm a total moron, please help me before I break my monitor in half.

I also have a install I've been running at NodeBB v0.7.1. Yup, there's two of us who fell way behind. Wont make that mistake again.

Its time to upgrade, and- ...
Ugh.

So, I followed this guide, to the letter.

https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/upgrading/index.html#upgrade-path

---

Went from 0.7.1 to 0.7.x with

git fetch
No errors, log: http://pastebin.com/i8V155rz
git reset --hard origin/v0.7.x
Log: HEAD is now at 6856a5e Merge pull request #3657 from davidvuong/v0.7.x

Seems- Okay? Maybe?

Okay, so

./nodebb upgrade
Log: http://pastebin.com/47YAcNJU

Only one error so far, I think. Lets see if I can start it.

./nodebb start

... Okay, so that's not great. Lets try

npm install
Error. Crap. Log: http://pastebin.com/traYpg4H

Well, lets try upgrade, then start again?
./nodebb upgrade
npm ERR! not ok code 0

... This can't be good. ...

./nodebb start

I'd be hugely grateful to anyone who can help at all here, I'm stuck in a ditch. Thanks!

virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory

Seems like your system is out of memory while the npm install.
One trick I some times use (if my remote host because of some reasons rejects the install) is to npm install on a local machine, push that via scp to my remote host and run npm rebuild there.

npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"

But maybe you need to update your nodejs/npm...

@frissdiegurke Thanks!

Thankfully, Pichalite was able to talk me up to 0.7.3, now we're trying to get up from there.
