SOLVED Meemo purged my notes
-
Can you open a terminal into the app via the Cloudron dashboard and run the mongodb client there?
Then check if you have a collection named<your userid>_thingswithshow collections. If so also check if it contains your notes data withdb.<your userid>_things.find()
Now if the data is still in the database there, then I might have to debug this further on your instance, if there are no errors shown to indicate the issue. -
@nebulon Okay, I checked. userid_things seems completely empty.
-
That is very bad, unless you have backups still, which I think you mentioned you don't, then the data is actually lost
-
I always had backups but not with very long retention so they contain nothing I’m afraid.
-
I wonder what the best recommendation for such situations is. Maybe Cloudron should keep one backup per month till a year and then one backup per year or so? Or should there be more help and information about how to additional copy backups from the main backup location to something more longterm even?
-
That’d be pretty good! I like the concept.
-
I will close this issue (marking as solved) as unfortunately we can't do anything anymore to get the data back. For any later reader, if this issue is also hit, please stash the app logs for further debugging, maybe the issue is still visible there.
-
The same thing has happened to me as well. My entire meemo contents is gone, my backups show nothing. When I restore the oldest backup I have, the meemo seems to have completely reset itself (ie. all the instructional posts are there, but nothing else).
How to I check logs, and stash them (if they contain anything)?
-
@odie I am sorry about that! You can get the logs via the log viewer from your cloudron dashboard. There is a download button to get all.
-
@nebulon Sure, how do you want them transmitted? Sorry for the late response.
-
Please send them to support@cloudron.io
-
@nebulon Done. Let me know if you don't get them, in that case I have to send from a different email address.
Thanks!
