Solved Configure
  • DownPWundefined

    hello @phenomlab

    i want to restore my production db mongo backup to my dev environnement

    I have set the same ID/password for mongo admin users, same user for same database name and same password.

    Hhere is the file of the dump

    root@nodebbpwclonedb:/home/nodebb/nodebb_DB_20230107/nodebb# ls -lsah
total 1,6G
4,0K drwxr-xr-x 2 nodebb nodebb 4,0K  7 janv. 23:09 .
4,0K drwxr-xr-x 3 nodebb nodebb 4,0K  7 janv. 23:08 ..
1,5G -rw-r--r-- 1 nodebb nodebb 1,5G  7 janv. 03:30 objects.bson
4,0K -rw-r--r-- 1 nodebb nodebb  603  7 janv. 03:30 objects.metadata.json
 18M -rw-r--r-- 1 nodebb nodebb  18M  7 janv. 03:30 searchpost.bson
4,0K -rw-r--r-- 1 nodebb nodebb  492  7 janv. 03:30 searchpost.metadata.json
276K -rw-r--r-- 1 nodebb nodebb 275K  7 janv. 03:30 searchtopic.bson
4,0K -rw-r--r-- 1 nodebb nodebb  493  7 janv. 03:30 searchtopic.metadata.json
   0 -rw-r--r-- 1 nodebb nodebb    0  7 janv. 03:30 sessions.bson
4,0K -rw-r--r-- 1 nodebb nodebb  314  7 janv. 03:30 sessions.metadata.json

    and the command I use for restore with the result :

    nodebb@nodebbpwclonedb:~/nodebb$ sudo mongorestore --username admin --password XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --nsInclude nodebb.objects --drop /home/nodebb/nodebb_DB_20230107/nodebb/

    @phenomlab

    In fact I specified the sub rep and not the rep

    DON’T DO THIS:

    nodebb@nodebbpwclonedb:~/nodebb$ sudo mongorestore --username admin --password XXXXXXXXXXXXXX --nsInclude nodebb.objects --drop /home/nodebb/nodebb_DB_20230107/nodebb/

    BUT THIS :

    nodebb@nodebbpwclonedb:~/nodebb$ sudo mongorestore --username admin --password XXXXXXXXXXXXXX --nsInclude nodebb.objects --drop /home/nodebb/nodebb_DB_20230107/

    🙂

    @Panda likely because the predefined settings are out of date. Realistically, nodebb devs can’t possibly maintain correct settings for mail services they do not control.

    @veronikya said in mongodb replica set:

    The host’s local dns resolution is not configured. The problem of the host’s hosts being unable to be resolved in docker has been solved. Surprisingly
    Solution:
    Edit the /etc/resovel.conf file
    Add 127.0.0.53

    One immediate issue I can think of here is that editing resolv.conf directly is no longer supported and not recommended (because the changes do not survive a reboot) - unless you install the resolvconf package?

    @mventures Quick reply is basically exactly that. However, it’s possible to trigger the full composer as below

    Failing that, you’ll need to use the reply button in the sticky toolbar

    @DownPW sure. Let me have a look at this in more detail. I know nginx plus has extensive support for this, but it’s not impossible to get somewhere near acceptable with the standard version.

    You might be better off handling this at the Cloudflare level given that it sits in between the requesting client and your server.

    @DownPW This isn’t something I have readily available, and because I’m not entirely familiar with the database structure of NodeBB, it’s something that would require research and development in terms of script.

    I think it’d be quicker to ask this in the NodeBB forums.

    @Sampo2910 I just saw this on the NodeBB community site and it seems very much in line with the issue you are experiencing. Worth a look I think

    @cagatay You could experiment with nodebb-plugin-ns-embed but I expect the x-origin tag on the remote site to prevent playback.
