Looks like
npm ERR! argv "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\nodejs\\\\node.exe" "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\np
m-cli.js" "install"
is your issue. I had the same thing a while ago when installing NodeBB on Windows. Too many backslashes for the directories.
I posted a nice script that does daily, weekly, monthly backups of the mongodb. I'll try and find it.
You could probably add a command to backup your uploads folder too.
The good old "orange/not orange" discussion.
We had this a lot with our colour scheme at https://BitBangers.co.uk
I think it is Orange, other people think its red. We ended up with OrangeRed.
@sanatisharif yes
We just had a thread with a list of movies we have watched and some info on what we thought about it.
I made an imdb plugin that brings info about the movie when you hover over a an imdb link.
https://github.com/BitBangersCode/nodebb-plugin-imdb could be something you could modify to insert into a db

I have a script that does daily backups for me. I copied the most recent one to the new server.
Restored it using mongorestore or whatever the command is to restore mongo databases. It's been a while so the commands are not fresh in my head.
Once the database has been restored correctly you can run the NodeBB installer.
When it asks for the database you will just tell it the database name of the database you just restored.
This should then install NodeBB with your old database.
Unless something has changed with the later versions of NodeBB then this procedure should work.
@AOKP All depends on how large your backups are. Loads of email clients have size limits on attachment size.

@psychobunny I haven't seen Antman, I was told it wasn't very good. I'll have to give it a try.
I havent seen the green lantern either but i knew Ryan Reynolds played the Green Lantern, he also played the Deadpool in Xmen Origins: Wolverine.
Did you see Deadpool make jokes and references to those two films?
I watched it on Sunday.
It was what i was expecting. It's on the same level as Guardians of the Galaxy. Which is one of he better super hero films imo.
Worth watching but definitely over hyped.
I had a few issues upgrading from 0.6 to 0.9.
Manually running npm install and then run the nodebb install command usually sorted everything out for me.
I've used ./nodebb start ever since it was introduced. We have no issues with it.
I think there should be some sticky with a basic backup script that will back up everything.
some shell script or python or whatever.
I have one backing up my mongodb but nothing backup the actual nodebb folder. This would probably easy to add to the current script.
Are there no linux whiz kids out there that can whip something up for the people who want a backup.
Can a plugin execute os commands on a server?
@HolyPhoenix It's a good job I don't have many friends then 
Removing free features is one way to piss off people. I think instead of that, any new features should be behind the pay wall. That way people who want new features can have them and people who don't wont.
I only use it as a quick reply to texts when i am on my PC and if that goes behind the pay wall I will be looking for something else.
@martec If you dont want a plugin for that then stick with some software that has it built into the core.
tfw when you are still running 0.6.
I've noticed the escorts users on my forum too.
lmao @Schamper being the reason why you are giving up on forum software.
I think people need to understand that he has done those plugins as side projects that are open source. He has no reason to even update these other than his own motivation.
Yes it would be nice for them to work on the latest version but if you are that desperate for a plug then use the nodebb version that the plugin supports.
BitBangers is still running nodebb v0.6 as we rely heavily on the shoutbox which is only really compatible up to v0.6.
