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.

@Jenkler let's encrypt, and it's easy

I just launched a new site built on nodebb that allows bitcoin bounties

Cool website, what template did you use ?

I've also done a Website about bitcoin and other coins, Altcoins, in french :

301 Moved Permanently

(www.cryptofr.com)

there is already a little but active community

301 Moved Permanently

(cryptotrust.io)

A forum for crypto-currencies. I have changed a lot of the home theme & added the subcategories on home page.

I am also doing "sections" with css (:before). Could it be possible to do that with a plugin ?

This new version is gaining some traffic (with a max of +50 users online 1 day ago), it might become interesting if it become a highly used forum with +1000 users

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 ?

No worries but before I start diving into the coding I have to make sure that someone has successfully upgraded the "0.6.0" to a 0.7.x tree.
Also I feel like this part of wiki is written in Weirdish rathar than simple English:

NodeBB’s upgrade path is designed so that upgrading between versions is straightforward. NodeBB will provide upgrade compatibility (via the --upgrade flag) between the latest version of a lower branch and the latest version of the higher branch. For example, if v0.2.2 is the latest version in the v0.2.x branch, you can switch to the v0.3.x branch and suffer no ill effects. Upgrading from v0.2.0 to v0.3.x is not supported, and NodeBB will warn you when attempting to upgrade that you are not upgrading cleanly.

So according to that, "Upgrading from v0.2.0 to v0.3.x is not supported" and it means "You can't upgrade your v.0.6.0 to v0.7.x".
if yes, why the upgrade was 100% fine except updating the database schema, and if no, what's the point of "For example, if v0.2.2 is the latest version in the v0.2.x branch, you can switch to the v0.3.x branch and suffer no ill effects." ?
Now I'm just stuck in v0.6.0 and can't really do anything with my current installation.

i'm in the same situation, trying to upgrade to v0.7

I will tell you if it's successful

solved it ... by putting the code in an other template ... I still don't understand why, but it works

new version of the forum (with sub-categories new message, and other little things)

Yeah, blue notifications too, not very visible but i liked it :x

@WildPointer said:

So you mean you've got a problem with "old database schema" as well?

Yeah.

First i've installed redis 3.0

apt-get install software-properties-common add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server apt-get update apt-get install redis-server

But there is still a pb with database

15/6 15:58 [3067] - error: [upgrade] NodeBB upgrade could not complete, as your database schema is too far out of date.
15/6 15:58 [3067] - error: [upgrade] Please ensure that you did not skip any minor version upgrades.
15/6 15:58 [3067] - error: [upgrade] (e.g. v0.1.x directly to v0.3.x)

ah ah, yeah I've done a little hack to make it look like big sections

you can use other images ^^

Might be interesting to have sections included in Nodebb natively ?

We also do Redis to Mongo migrations for a flat fee of $50 USD. That might be something you're interested in doing, down the road

I would be interested to do that. I want to migrate my forum (https://cryptofr.com) to a new server and I'm thinking to change the db to mongodb from redis.

hi !

it seems my forum is attacked by someone creating 1 account /hour or more

301 Moved Permanently

(www.cryptofr.com)

as you can see, there is weird pseudo & fake email

could you add a Captcha or something else to register only "humans" ?

@WildPointer

now it's working and i can't really figure why ^^

I tried checkout tags, git checkout tags/v0.6.1 and git checkout tags/v0.7.0 and ./nodebb upgradefor each one, and it seems it worked after that ...

Personally, I use this: https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone

Open your terminal and run:

npm install nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone

Activate it, restart NodeBB - then fill it in with an Akismet key, a Project Honeypot Key, and a Recaptcha Key.

Seems to catch almost everything.

thank you !!

@WildPointer:

have you done a git fetch before ?
