Hi folks. Doing a bit of recon here and could use some help.

I have a very old version of NodeBB on one of my servers. Version is 1.0.2. The forum wasn't active, so there's no downtime urgency, but I do want to get the data stored for the forum.

The Linux box had a fit and won't boot anymore. I can only access it from a recovery ISO. Seemingly, mongodump is available, but I can't start the service since it hasn't booted with systemd.

My best bet is thinking I can try to find where the database is stored on disk and copy that out. For MySQL, I think it was `/var/lib/mysql``, but I'm unsure of the Mongo equivalent, or if NodeBB may store it elsewhere.

Thanks!

Hello everyone! I have a quick question regarding some database calls.

I currently run a community on NodeBB for gaming. It's Steam-focused, and all registered users must sign in with a Steam account. The system also has a notification-steambot that I wrote that interacts with the users.

At present the bot is hook based, so it requires the user to make certain forum actions. I want to have a list of all steam IDs on hand for pushes, such as mass friend invites to the community, announcements (send messages to all users without hooking the notification system).

Ideally what I'd like to do is run something at a 12-24 hour interval that scrapes all users in the database, and stores all of their SteamIDs in a single array that I can run through.
