    Running nodeBB on v6 of MongoDB and tried to upgrade to v7
    Is there any benefit to upgrading?

    Anyway I did
    sudo apt update
    and saw these lines (which still references v6?)
    …https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/6.0 InRelease
    Hit:10 https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/6.0 Release

    Then
    sudo apt upgrade mongodb
    didnt work

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Reading state information... Done
    Package mongodb is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    
    E: Package 'mongodb' has no installation candidate
    

    Can anyone explain what failed there?

    Just to add, the server is running Ubuntu. I read something once about Ubuntu having its own list of where it gets updates from?
    Im not sure if that is the case, and is relevant

    @Panda yes, Ubuntu does have its own PPA repository for most software, but not for mongodb. This should help in terms of the upgrade

    @phenomlab ok thanks, so any idea what caused it not to upgrade?

    @Panda if you used the Ubuntu PPA, I think this only goes as far as 6.x if I recall correctly.

    @Panda said in Upgrade to NodeBB v3? 2BB or not 2BB, that is the question!: So although thats a plugin it has Widget like element and stopped working on the Theme change Which is normal based on the widgets being reset when you change themes.

    @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 [image: 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.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored. More info around the background property can be found here https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.php

    @phenomlab I love it too @phenomlab said in Blinking text Effect: Has that “broken neon light” look that you see in films. It’s exactly that, kind of old neon signs of bar or pubs a bit cyberpunk too

    @DownPW This is now resolved. The issue was an incorrect URL specified in the Nodebb plugin. I’ve corrected this, and now it works as intended.
