Nodebb: failed to restore a mongo dump

Solved Configure
  • 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/

    grrrrrrr

  • @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 You’d need to connect to the server and execute it directly - not on your local terminal. Review the guide below, which will show you how to gain access via SSH to your server

    https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/dedicated/ssh-introduction/

    Once you have access, you’ll need to navigate to the actual folder where NodeBB is installed

    You’ll then need to change to the directory as shown below

    /home/unbuntu/nodebb

    fdffe673-bf63-4b6d-a728-5506fddc1aff-image.png

    In most cases, initial access takes you to the root of the file system. You can always issue pwd in a Linux terminal which will show you the Present Working Directory. From there, you can issue the command

    cd /home/ubuntu/nodebb

    Once in the NodeBB directory, you’d use the below commands

    ./nodebb stop git fetch && git checkout develop && git reset --hard origin/develop ./nodebb upgrade ./nodebb start

    Line 1 stops the NodeBB instance
    Line 2 gets the latest files from GIT (repository) and then checks out the development branch. It then resets the version you are using to the development branch ready for v3
    Line 3 Runs the upgrade once the new branch is set, and code pulled
    Line 4 Restarts the NodeBB instance after the upgrade has completed

    Note that when you restart NodeBB and log back in, things will look very different to what you had in v2.

    @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.

    @phenomlab said in nodebb dropdown menu:

    @kurulumu-net You set it like the below example taken from this site

    aae36790-3257-4bb2-ad5a-0d744309876a-image.png

    Which presents this

    77f47260-2941-4afe-9614-8e17dcfc8c19-image.png

    Very interesting…

    I actually thought this wasn’t possible, as I remember it being asked in the NodeBB forum.

    Is this something new that’s been implemented? I’ll 100% be doing that when I’m on the laptop over the weekend.
