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'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
Fixed, I did not uninstall 2.4 properly, this guide helped me

Thanks!
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"?
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
