    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 ..

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 :

    @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/

    @mventures Quick reply is basically exactly that. However, it’s possible to trigger the full composer as below [image: 1681314389744-82ca1209-31be-4a51-a641-9887b5a238b8-image.png] Failing that, you’ll need to use the reply button in the sticky toolbar [image: 1681314442570-1d230bcb-ff8e-4756-94f7-6e2fb7a94bc4-image.png]

    @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.

    @eeeee said in restarting nodebb on boot: can I just run nodebb under nodemon for auto restarts? It’s a better method. Nodemon just looks for file system changes and would effectively die if the server was rebooted meaning you’d have to start it again anyway. Systemd is the defacto standard which is how the operating system interacts in terms of services, scheduled tasks etc.

    @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 https://community.nodebb.org/topic/16826/does-nodebb-work-with-mongodb-6-0
