I want to convert my 500-600k post forum to nodebb. I'm a node newb, but have years of experience on PHP. Looking forward to learning something new on what looks to be the best next gen forum out there.

Anywho... the plugin seems to only support 1.0.0. When I install the latest version I have no problems getting nodebb up and running. However if I specifically install 1.0.0, just like I would the latest, it never wants to start. It seems to complain about comparability with plugins.

Is there something special I should do during the install of 1.0.0 to keep all of the dependencies in sync with what 1.0.0 would.need?

Thanks,
Mac

Mmhm, because we noticed it taking a long time we added progress bar support, so you can see that it's doing something 😄

We store the IP addresses going back to the installation of the forum, so it's possible that it's no longer needed. One could simply delete the entire ip:recent set with no ill effects... (well, except that you'd no longer have a historical record of recent IP addresses)

Hello all!

I've been recently looking into NodeBB and I'm now considering switching my current Discourse forum to NodeBB. Both are self hosted.

However, I haven't been able to figure out a way to do that successfully.
I've tried using https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import and https://github.com/BenLubar/nodebb-plugin-import-discourse to no avail.

I'm not well versed in SQL (Postgre or Mongo), so the instructions on https://community.nodebb.org/topic/6818/switching-from-discourse/4 are a bit challenging - especially where you need to prefix all of the table names.

If you have the time to help a beginner, I'd be grateful!

@vfssantos
These settings worked for me.

{
"url": "http://192.168.1.1:4567",
"secret": "XXXXXXXXXXXX",
"database": "mongo",
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "nodebb",
"password": "mypassword",
"database": "nodebb",
"uri": ""
},
"port": "4567"
}

From the Commandline Terminal, first stop and then start nodebb
./nodebb stop ./nodebb start
