Hi @pitaj

Thanks for the suggestion, it worked!

I am unable to connect to a remote mongodb server while setting up a fresh nodebb instance. I have verified connection manually through "mongo" command as seen below;

fsuzer@prod-nodebb:~/nodebb$ mongo "mongodb://10.132.0.2:27017"
MongoDB shell version v5.0.5
connecting to: mongodb://10.132.0.2:27017/?compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb
Implicit session: session { "id" : UUID("b2adf492-0114-4e2a-8866-dc4fbde03ddd") }
MongoDB server version: 5.0.5

Warning: the "mongo" shell has been superseded by "mongosh",
which delivers improved usability and compatibility.The "mongo" shell has been deprecated and will be removed in
an upcoming release.

================
> 

Netcat is also successful, please see below;

fsuzer@prod-nodebb:~/nodebb$ nc -zv 10.132.0.2 27017
Connection to 10.132.0.2 27017 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

However, this is how it ends up while running nodebb setup. I have also tried to manually create "config.json" and including only "mongo" details, however, it ended up giving me the same error. This was a suggestion on one of the past posts. I have tried with both "nodebb" user and as well as the "admin" user - both having different password setups.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Fatih

@baris Done. Thank you very much Baris.

Hi Baris,

Thank you for your support. Here's the output;

> db.objects.find({_key: "users:reputation", value: "967"});
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5afaf7cb955f6475f7b7119f"), "_key" : "users:reputation", "value" : "967", "score" : -60 }

@gotwf I truly miss zfs

@crazycells said in Error while restarting the forum after several plugin update:

therefore we decided to re-install the forum with an automatic back up from several hours back.

How can you do this automaticly? I am using redis and I have to copy dump.rdb manually.

As just mentioned, mongodb is backed up and the archive is compressed via cron, then sent to an external volume. The older ones also deleted periodically again via cron. Redis is used for sessions.

I am looking into the option of taking multiple snapshots in a day via digitalocean API's to replace this system though. I did this succesfully for the data volumes however I have yet to come up with a way to do the same for the droplet itself as i don't see any digitalocean API for that.

@667
Would it be possible to add Digitalocean Spaces support as well? API commands seems to be same as S3.

@PitaJ said in Text Overlapping Issue:

What version of NodeBB and nodebb-theme-persona are you on? How you tried stopping nodebb, running ./nodebb build, and starting it back up?

We are on Ver 1.12.2 and Persona. I’ve stopped and built from cli multiple times and result is the same. What should I be looking at?

We're having below issue. Some texts on the posts overlaps.
I was wondering if anyone could help us on how to prevent this, thanks.
