@julian I confirm the issue is resolved, many thanks for the quick support ️

While I don't know Redis syntax (mogodb user here), so I can't give you specific commands, I can assure you that most of what you want is possible to do in the database (I don't know about groups here). The database structure is explained here, and as you can see user objects contains the website, postcount, topiccount etc. You can get the chat messages from message objects and get users that did send at least one message from there to exclude them from the deletion.

Check your redis logs. I believe there is an issue with your redis config being unable to persist to disk, therefore when your database restarts, everything is lost.

It is fixed on latest master, do a git pull and run upgrade again.

@baris thank you. this is a very useful plugin. admins can copy the email list from here: https://github.com/disposable-email-domains/disposable-email-domains/blob/master/disposable_email_blocklist.conf

Nice tutorial! Good to know iptables can be used to forward ports like this. I do believe NodeBB can be configured to terminate SSL certificates, but it hasn't been done in awhile because we much prefer nginx
