Hi guys,

This forum use in-memory database, but the hard-drive was full. When the server rebooted (unknown reason) it didn't dump the database (no more space on device) = lost all the posts and replies that was in-memory.

That is the price to pay for being a part time admin.

That's really unfortunate

EDIT: I imagine that all users registered in the last 24 days also lost their registration, am I right? Maybe we should post an announce in the technical issues (the most accessed subforum) and pin it to the top, so newcomers will know what happened if they can't find their posts/replies/registration/reputation/favourites/etc.

@gsagostinho
yes. not a good day...
will post and pin this bad news in technical issues

@EEight I can imagine the feeling... But on the other hand, there is nothing to do about it now, so we must as well simply try to inform people in the best possible ways we can and then continue normally just as before.

Well guys, the problem came back... I am really trying to have time to manage this forum, but it is difficult. So we lost another full month. The server went down and the redis (in-memory database) didn't have the time to commit to disk. The configuration is to write to file every minute if there's at least 10 keys changed, but it looks like it doesn't work for a mysterious reason.

I am no expert in redis and I am trying to find the time to update the forum... Not easy. If anyone have the time and the knowledge to import a redis database / nodebb forum I would be glad to export the installation to another server / admin.

(at least for now I am forcing a commit to disk of the in-memory database everyday (cron.daily) and doing a back-up in the cloud every night)...
