And use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) .

Great Idea

@ffmad I'm new to NodeBB and I just want to make sure that is secure.

Be sure to set a limit of connection try per hour. Set a good password by default. Make people change their password.

You can do all that with NodeBB.

What happenned was my fault ...

Just curious, how did an user got your account?

that's the big question, I supposed he got my password by bruteforce, but even that is weird

Hi,

Yesterday a user successfully got my account on my forum, and logged in and deleted the top posters and his messages. (including a topic with +10 000 messages ...)

Sadly the last backup is more than 1 month old, so I can't use it ... (now I know I should have a real backup every day at least -_-)

I would like to take some data from that save and put it back on the last version, what would you propose?

What can I put back without breaking anything ?

That's awesome to hear! Love getting updates on CryptoFR Not sure if it's a record, this thread has 79 thousand posts, although the majority of them were made before they used NodeBB

that's cool

what was their software before? PHPBB?

On my CryptoFR forum, a forum on cryptocurrencies in french, something unusual happened lately : a topic got answers after answers ... to finally reach a number of posts I've never seen on nodebb --> More than 5000 posts

The best part ? The forum is not slowing down at all when you read it

Congrats the NodeBB team for this great software. Everyday I have people telling me on the forum that it rocks, and it's true.

If you want to spend less money, Mongo is a wise choice with few drawbacks. Otherwise with added content you'll have to add more and more RAM for Redis to work.

I have no problem with investing more money, so I will stay with redis. Thanks for the advice (the good part of having invested in crypto in 2014)

My forum is still on redis only, is it a better idea to migrate to Mongo ?

        Scaling - NodeBB Documentation

Thanks !!

Hi! I'm a long time user of NodeBB (since 2014) and my forum has seen a sharp rise in use this year (with the growing cryptocurrencies field)

(it's cryptofr.com)

I think you don't see that everywhere:

Yesterday we had an epic all-time high of 16 000 unique visitors

It's really great but I see that the forum is getting slower and slower.

We are on a server with 8 GB Ram

Do you know of some possibilities to keep its rapidity ?
