You made my day!
I think I need to take more care of the versions ...

Is there any chance I can buy you a coffee or a beer,
to value your work?

Hi,
there was a problem with old plugins.
For the future I wold suggest to list all active used plugins.
Then disabling all of them and the update the forum.
If eveything is ok, update the plugins step by step to see if something goes wrong.

@PitaJ
Thanks for yopur help.
In the future I have to read the error messages more carefully.
The "bad" plugins were mentioned there

BTW. npm audit give me whole bunch of so called "security issues".
No, now just one ...

npm audit fix could not fix these - so how can that be fiexed?
*puzzled*

$ npm audit
# npm audit report

bootbox  *
Severity: moderate
Cross-Site Scripting - https://npmjs.com/advisories/882
No fix available
node_modules/bootbox

1 moderate severity vulnerability

Some issues need review, and may require choosing
a different dependency.

Anyone knows what to do here?

Hi guys,

its me again
I am just answering my own question to myself.

Update should not be done by the root user, but with the user you installed nodeBB.

NodeBB Upgrade Complete!

Its that damn easy!
Have a great day!

Hi all,
I updated from nodeBB 1.16.2 to 1.17.1 as I always do, after this doc:

• https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/upgrade/

When I type ./nodebb upgrade in the nodebb folder I get the following error:

npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path /opt/nodebb/node_modules/sharp
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command sh -c (node install/libvips && node install/dll-copy && prebuild-install) || (node install/can-compile && node-gyp rebuild && node install/dll-copy)

  signal: null,
  output: [ null, null, null ],
  pid: 27482,
  stdout: null,
  stderr: null
}

As I understan, the module sharp is missiong.
I installed it with: npm install sharp --unsafe-perm
Same error as mentioned before.

I also see this: Installation error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/root/.npm'

But this seems to be nonsense by this two means:

• The folder already exists with drwxrwxr-x 297 root root
• and it is writable AND executable by root ...

So what the heck is going on here?
What did I miss?
Could anybody please point me into the right direction?

@pitaj
Yes, I have tried it with node 14.15.3.

These errors are still present during startup:

 ./nodebb start
 ./nodebb log

Ok, what I definetly can say , that the following modules are missing:

• assets/src/modules/timeago/jquery.timeago.js?v=enhebbeqf8a
• /assets/src/modules/timeago/jquery.timeago.js?v=enhebbeqf8a

Why is that?

  "./nodebb stop" to stop the NodeBB server
  "./nodebb log" to view server output
  "./nodebb help" for more commands

/opt/nodebb# ./nodebb log

Sorry forgot to post the versions of my system:

Hi all,
I sucessfully updated my froum from latest 1.15 to 1.16.

But I have some weared errors, mainly JS Errors:

serializer.js:17 Uncaught TypeError: t is not a function
    at serializer.js:17
    at serializer.js:4
(anonymous) @ serializer.js:17
(anonymous) @ serializer.js:4

req.load @ require.js:1961

require.js:168 Uncaught Error: Script error for "timeago/jquery.timeago"
https://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#scripterror
    at makeError (require.js:168)
    at HTMLScriptElement.onScriptError (require.js:1738)

service-worker.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch service-worker.js:1 

Seems there are errors mostly with jQuery, bootbox and timeago.

The posts are displayed not as interpreted HTML, but as "Code" HTML.

Never had that before - could anyone assist?
Thanks.

You made my day!
I think I need to take more care of the versions ...

Is there any chance I can buy you a coffee or a beer,
to value your work?
