Upgrades and Backups
-
I know you can’t hear it, but I’m tutting loudly all the same.
@Lyeta Sloths are en route, but moving slow. Should be here around the site’s 5th anniversary though.

FFS, Really Scuzz?

It won’t happen again. I have a script for daily backup of the database.
-
Master branch of Github is now compatible with the latest NodeBB.
The NPM release should still be compatible with 0.3.2.
-
I’ll test it out again @schamper. It was getting disabled when booting up NodeBB and it was also causing NodeBB to crash when i used the --dontcheckplugin thing.
error: [plugins/nodebb-plugin-shoutbox] This plugin is reportedly incompatible with your version of NodeBB, so it has been disabled.
error: [plugins/nodebb-plugin-shoutbox] Use `--no-check-plugins` if you wish to live dangerously. -
@Scuzz Hence why I said “the latest NodeBB” :)
-
@Schamper You also said the NPM release should still be compatible with 0.3.2.

Shoutbox is back, clear your caches if you can’t see it.
-
Ya goofed, etc etc.
Also I was unable to see the message above the shoutbox until I was logged in.
-
@Maverick hmmm It showed up for me and it shows up now when I log out. Must be a cache issue. Does it work now?
-
It’s alright, @scuzz had good intentions!
Are we swapping war stories? One time I ran an upgrade script on production, and I didn’t have any backups. I made a typo while writing the upgrade script, and the consequence was that all of the topic titles were slugified. (e.g. “This is a topic” became “this-is-a-topic”)
No backups.
So yeah, if you check topics on the NodeBB community forum from 7-8 months ago, they all have messed up casing *facepalm* – you can’t really tell because we wrote a hackjob script to re-capitalize and re-space most of the topic titles… but there is still evidence in places…
