    • RE: Restoring/Upgrading nodeBB - Procedure

      @julian

      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

      🙂

    • Restoring/Upgrading nodeBB - Procedure

      I'm testing restoring nodeBB after a reboot on my server or a crash for example.

      I set up redis with the default config:
      -redis-server

      I start nodeBB
      -./nodebb start

      This doesn't work, I have to run ./nodebb setup before ./nodebb start or the forum just show the top bar
      After a setup, I can start the forums fine but it is a fresh new forums, seems like it did not load dump.rdb from redis. I lost all my categories and settings in nodeBB. Where is the category and settings saved on nodeBB? does running a "setup" overwrite them?

      I would really like to be able to save Redis database and be able to restore it before thinking of going in production with nodeBB.
      Is there a guide available because I followed the "update" procedure but seems like I'm missing something

      http://forum.maximumtrainer.com:4567/


      Edit:
      Seems to have found the correct procedure, problem was I started Redis-server in a different location so the dump.rdb was not in /var/lib/redis like it should have been

      Save
      1- Save redis-server latest db
      redis-cli save
      2- shutdown nodeBB and redis-server
      ./nodebb stop
      redis-cli shutdown
      3- backup the corresponding dump.rdb file (location will be where you started redis-server)

      Restore
      1- Delete old dump.rdb if present
      2- upload good dump.rdb
      3- start redis-server at the location where dump.rdb is
      cd [location_of_dump.rdb]
      redis-server
      4- start nodebb
      ./nodebb start

    • Group - Adding a group "master" user?

      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"?

      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

    • RE: Problem after upgrading to 0.9.0 from 0.6.1

      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.

    • RE: Problem after upgrading to 0.9.0 from 0.6.1

      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 :

    • RE: Problem after upgrading to 0.9.0 from 0.6.1

      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

    • RE: Problem after upgrading to 0.9.0 from 0.6.1

      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

    • Problem after upgrading to 0.9.0 from 0.6.1

      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?
      Log:
      13/11 20:26 [13389] - info: [plugins/spam-be-gone] Settings loaded

      14/11 11:33 [13389] - info: [emailer.postmark] Sent welcome email to uid 1
      this is the restart I manually did this morning :
      14/11 13:02 [13389] - info: [app] Shutdown (SIGTERM/SIGINT) Initialised.

      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:

      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!
