was there an update last evening or the day before?

deleting archived cards do not stay deleted. Refreshing screen and they return in the list of archived things to delete

HOW do you clear out all cards from the system not using the GUI? Its suddenly happening on all three systems with no code changes.

Can we roll back to the last version. THis is broken

other issues: when updating with new cards from the api looking at the contents of the new cards put the GUI into some sort of wait mode. Until you refresh the screen several times you get this behavior that indicates its not connecting to Mongo or something

In fact the deleting the archived boards works and on screen refresh they are still there seems like its never deleting from Mongo at all

Another hint: in addition to the GUI thinking the archived card is deleted and when you refresh its not, the webhooks are not being sent out when the delete happens. So it seems that the GUI is disconnected from the mongo and webhook piece entirely.

Question: in addition to rolling back the code, using snap installed wekan, what is the correct way to get into mongo shell under snap wekan? I can at least see what is in the database then and perhaps clear it out

LMK

more hints, I can't delete archived cards but I can restore them. When I do I cannot disable or remove webhooks associated

HOw do I get into wekan under snap mongo to clear these out?

But I think adding auth can not prevent it

12:49am

MongoDB is only exposed to localhost

12:49am

it is not exposed to network when using snap

12:49am

only those that have SSH access to server can access mongodb

12:50am

like sysadmins etc

12:50am

usually ssh is protected with public key

12:50am

that is safer than using password login

12:50am

and at server you can allow only http and https with ufw

12:51am

if you login for example at AWS LightSail web interface

12:51am

and don't expose ssh

12:52am

or alternatively, only add access from your current IP address for the time you access server

12:53am

For ssh it's also possible to use fwknop https://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/

12:55am

At Snap it's also possible to set Wekan to use external mongo with sudo snap set wekan mongo-url='......'

12:56am

and with docker and source/bundle too

12:58am

Percona MongoDB also has encryption but I have not tried it https://www.percona.com/software/mongodb/feature-comparison

12:58am

Wekan also works with Percona MongoDB

12:58am

I mean Percona MongoDB server

1:00am

Percona MongoDB repo is here https://github.com/percona/percona-server-mongodb

1:01am

While original MongoDB is here https://github.com/mongodb/mongo

1:01am

Percona website also has .deb packages etc

1:01am

for installing

1:04am

It is also possible to export all MongoDB data to JSON files https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Export-from-Wekan-Sandstorm-grain-.zip-file

1:08am

For corruption in general, solution is to do daily backups. Many databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL and others can have database corruption also.

1:09am

at least daily. More often, if possible.

1:14am

Well, some years ago when I worked as SysAdmin/Cloud Architect, I helped coworker, that had Mac laptop. Upgrading to newer version of macOS had corrupted all local MySQL databases. I could not recover anything from those, only solution was to download newer database dumps and reinstall all local databases that where used from Drupal development.
