Solved Best way to wipe and start over?

[g0st]

I've done a test import of a xenforo forum. I think I've worked out the bugs but I want to try a few more runs on the import to verify. Few weird things like the imported users showing up as guests and when I log in it shows me offline.

Anyway, the bugs aren't relevant. I jut want to know what the best way is to wipe what I have and run a fresh install of NodeBB. Any help would be much appreciated.

@g0st all you need to do is drop the database and run setup again. alternatively you can keep the existing one and use a different name when you run setup again.

Great, thanks for the help!

@pichalite How do I access mongodb in the container?

[Ben Lubar]

@g0st docker exec -ti [mongo container name] mongo

@Ben-Lubar said in Best way to wipe and start over?:

docker exec -ti [mongo container name] mongo

Thanks, I'm not using docker. I installed it following the instructions here: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os/ubuntu.html

Aaannd I get it now. Went back and read the instructions again. You get to the mongo command prompt by typing mongo.

@g0st ah, I thought you were using Docker from when you said "container". Yes, mongo is the command you want.

Well, I wiped and started over. Now it appears the latest nodebb import plugin https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import doesn't appear to be supported by 1.0.3.

Sigh... I can't win.
