@alanbrown you can refer to this topic - "Email Template To Include New Contents - How?" that will give you what you may need

does this issue only impacting 1.9.x version?

before i start upgrading i would like to know if it is possible to upgrade from 1.7.5 to 1.9.0?

thanks

i have the same issue too on 1.7.5v

When you run NodeBB in a cloud that has a load-balancer, reverse proxy, routers etc., it has to be configured to work properly, especially when you scale the server to use multiple instances.

One of the constraints Socket.io, SockJS and similar libraries have is that they need to continuously talk to the same instance of the server. They work perfectly well when there is only 1 instance of the server

Found this post too
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4383/hundreds-of-polling-requests

That pretty much explains the issue i'm encountering on Cloud Foundry. Suspect it will apply to AWS too ...

@PitaJ @baris -- any thoughts on this please? Cheers

@giggiux I want to store the configuration/settings into SCM so that in the worst case scenario we can rebuild the instance. And i don't want to clone the datasets either

Hi,

I'm seeking advise on the most reliant and efficient way to migrate a NodeBB instance's settings/configurations to another NodeBB instance. I have tried to look into the mongodb "Config" document but it doesn't contain all the configurations that have been set. For example, the Navigation settings are stored separately in its own documents.

Also need to migrate the plugins settings too but i can't seem to find them on mongodb documents. If anybody has done something similar kindly please share your knowledge.

The purpose of this task is to allow replication of an exact setup of NodeBB to another new instance for testing.

Many thanks

Nelson

@yariplus the database is hosted on Mongo Atlas. why would you say it is the database?

@pitaj I believe Bluemix Cloud Foundry is using round robin algorithm.

I did modify the webserver.js file in order for Cloud Foundry to inject the internal port. Below are the changes and i'm starting NodeBB using node app.js

var port = process.env.PORT;
var socketPath = isSocket ? process.env.PORT : '';

the URL in config,json, i think it is the reverse PROXY url given by Bluemix CF. Also the port in config.json i have also left it as 4567. Not sure if this correct in my case though.
