I did nothing, just run ./nodebb setup, ./nodebb start, ./nodebb restart and ./nodebb build. then the progress bar is gone. thats quite strange.

@PitaJ yes. that's it. thx!

Hi all,
I am only a front-ended developer with some JavaScript experiences. I have poor knowledge in backend development.
Before this, I had a period of ruby on rails practice. So, I think I can understand how an Application and Database work together, IMAO.

Back to nodebb, I have done eveything well/correct and have run my nodebb forum as expected.
I never used redis before, so I customized the database configuration followed by the documentation. I am sure everything is going correct, of course with some faults fixed. Since the Application running, I can see the initial post and the user admin which were created in the process of setup is ready to work.

The question is: Where is the data in my mongoDB? The intial post, the user admin and his password. I see nothing on the database, e.g. nodebb_test_1.

Any responses are grateful.
Thanks a lot.
