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/

  • @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/

    @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 the swatch feature you refer to isn’t a NodeBB plugin, but a utility that I wrote that handles this. It is available for v2 (as you can see here) but I’ve stopped developing and releasing the code because it has been entirely rewritten to work for v3.

    If you’d like the code, this is possible, but you’ll need to upgrade to v3 first.

    @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.

    @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.

    @marusaky based on the work completed thus far (in relation to PM exchanges), I’m going to mark this completed. Sending email from the server itself works fine without issue, and DNS appears to be clean (valid SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records).

    It appears that only Gmail marks incoming messages from your domain as spam - perhaps because of the domain age, which there is nothing we can do to prevent this. Mail delivery to all other domains appears to work fine in al of my tests.
