Thanks for the tips! However, it seems starting redis-server without a .conf file just create the dump.rdb in the same folder you start Redis (using Redis 2.8.19)
I had to redownload the redis.conf for 2.8.19, and can now start redis-server with the conf file in argument, I added the db path under "SNAPSHOTTING" in the redis.conf
/var/lib/redis/dump.rdb
I added a group so that it's users have a special access to a category (read, create thread, reply)
The moderator of the group (master user) also have moderator access on this category.
Is it possible to give one user of the group the privilege to invite other user to the group?
Right now, he has to email me and ask me to had X user to the group, I would like to give him this access.
Thanks!
Edit
I think I found it, you have to go to the group with your user and "grant ownership"?
Fixed, I did not uninstall 2.4 properly, this guide helped me
Thanks!
Got it

Solution
I had to add redis since it's not installed by default:
npm install
npm install redis
npm install connect-redis
npm install redis-server
ls -d node_modules/nodebb* | xargs -n1 basename | xargs npm update
node app --upgrade
Exactly my issue, good to see there is a fix, will wait for 0.9.1
Thanks
Should I open an issue on github for this?
I have been browsing the issue list but haven't seen this one.
Looking for a way to help you fix it, let me know if I can do anything, I checked with developer mode on chrome but no error shows.
Redis now secured.. I should have read that before, thanks I had backup!
Problem 2 still exists, if you ever experimented that before
Basically, just reading any post and hitting the BACK button in the browser, minor bug for now.

Seems to be related with :

Seems you are right
By default Redis listens for connections from all the network interfaces
available on the server. It is possible to listen to just one or multiple
interfaces using the "bind" configuration directive, followed by one or
more IP addresses.
Examples:
bind 192.168.1.100 10.0.0.1
bind 127.0.0.1
can't believe it's open to everyone by default? hmmm
Hey Julian,
How can you be sure someone flushed the data?
I added log support to redis, so if it happens again, I will check the log to see what happened.
Redis-server should only be accessible from the server, and it's a VPS (only I have access).
Looks more like redis overwrited dump.rdb with some kind of bug, will investigate..
Here is my redis.conf
I wake up this morning and the forum is down. I tried restarting nodebb and redis but not working (empty forum, like the DB was flushed), if you have any idea.. Thanks
http://forum.maximumtrainer.com:4567/
Problem 1:
Something happened to the database, it's 18 bytes and should be 2MB. will restore.
What can be the cause of this?
See this screenshot
Seems like it's a redis problem, I checked nodebb log and it shows no error?

Problem 2:
I restored the dump.rdb I saved yesterday (thank god)
and having some issue at the moment, like this show up in the top bar when I click on a topic and hit BACK in the browser:

edited, will open a new post for this Thanks
I should probably install the anti-spammer stuff. I just have captcha but noticed some random user registering (porn site, etc.) WIll look to do that in the future.
Exactly! Learned a lot today with your help. I was afraid to upgrade but once you know how it works it's pretty easy.
Keep up the good work, nodebb rocks 
I have a backup every day of dump.rdb
About security, I haven't done much since the database and the forum are on the same server, in a non public area. Should be enough? Thanks!
