@Madchatthew Iโd always post for the reasons I stated above. Itโs useful information and could save someone else the headache.

possibly yes, the issue would probably be as always thereโs always plenty of other sites doing the same thing
Yes, but then we go back to the same ethos of providing information or a service that the others arenโt

Very true Mark, Iโd have no idea how Iโd achieve any of this!
Iโve been that used to creating County sites/ football sites. That may be the best effort realistically to create a football based site where users write content on their club so you have a Arsenal fan who is classed as โArsenal correspondentโ delivering match reports & news when possible.

@jac Yes, make it club agnostic - that way, it appeals to a far wider audience.

Absolutely! Still of course a massive task but one I could do .

I would unfortunately still look to close down the County forum.

Ok
Iโd be probably looking to see if the above is possible with Ghost either that or do a different idea like suggested.

Ultimately how would I go about shutting down the site mate? Obviously save a backup first?
-
@jac Pretty simple. We just stop the NodeBB instance so itโs not available anymore. Then yes, perform a backup of the database, plus all files. The server will of course remain.

Great to hear itโs that simple ๐คช

Some advice needed, would you do a football site as discussed earlier? Or something else that you have an interest in?
-
@jac Honestly, something else. Itโs going to be niche to a far greater degree than football. Remember, youโre taking the most popular sport in the world by far and attempting to make ripples in an enormous sea that nobody is likely to see with the QE2 of forums ripping through the wavesโฆ
Howโs that for an analogy ?

Very good .
Iโll have think of something elseโฆ
Right so I need to back the site up? And turn off node.js? Apologies if wrong, on mobile.
Happy to take above steps if I know how to do it ๐คช.

@jac For the time being, Iโve put the site into maintenance mode
Gives you enough time to work on backups etc.
-
@phenomlab thanks mate.

So in order to perform a backup, is it a snapshot I need to do via Hetzner CP?

I think last time a snapshot was done, but of course this time I need a full backup
-
@jac that will backup the entire machine, so if you decide to use the server for something else (and Iโm guessing this is going to be the case) and then you decide you need the files or database from that snapshot, youโll need to recover it into another instance.
This isnโt the optimum way. Itโs better to backup the database and the files individually.

Thanks mate. Is that via FTP?

@jac yes, or better, via VirtualMin
