MangoLassi 2021 Updates
-
Doing some big updates today, so be prepared for downtime. We are attempting a lot of stuff.
We already looked into moving from MongoDB to PostgreSQL but it is a no go. We found stuff wrong in the docs (which implies no one is testing them at all) and even after getting past that, the conversion didn't work. So we are sticking with MongoDB.
-
Well, so far so good. We just updated from MongoDB 3.2 to MongoDB 3.4 and things went smoothly. So that is a good sign.
-
We are on NodeBB 1.13.3 now.
-
We upgraded NodeJS to 10.24.0, the end of the V10 series.
-
NodeJS has been upgraded to v12.21.0 now. That's way better.
-
Some serious updates happening.
-
-
Database is updated to MongoDB 3.6.23 now.
-
Attempting the upgrade to NodeBB 1.14 now.
-
No luck, loads of errors on that version.
-
Update NodeJS to 14.16.0
-
Attempting the upgrade to MongoDB 4.0.
-
Rebooting again....
-
And we are back on MongoDB 4.0.23
-
Okay, between upgrading the database to 4.0 or removing the emoji plugins completely, we were able to complete the update and are on NodeBB 1.14 now.
-
Wow, the site changed a bit with this last update!
-
We are on NodeBB 1.15.5 now.

@nadnerb I've done more backups of the database today than I can remember ever doing, hahaha.
