Web bot not compatible with file database ?

[AxelTerizaki]

Hello.

I managed to install the bot without mongodb (I can't use it on my server) and it works well, thanks for that.

However, I'm having trouble with the management interface, even with the same database URI (a directory), it seems to want to connect through mongoDB.

Here's the error I get :

# node bot-web.js

My config :

  "database": {
    "uri": "/var/lib/Discord.RSS-bot",
    "connection": {},
    "redis": "redis://localhost"
  },

Any hope to fix that?

Thanks in advance

Hi, as of right now MongoDB is required for the web as the docs indicate:

But given that these requirementswere placed before the recent major release v6, the rewrites might be able to make Mongo optional for the web as it is for the bot. I can look into it when I get the chance and get back to you

Oh my, indeed, I didn't see that one. I assumed since the bot part was compatible with the file db, the web part was as well.

No hurry needed, the bot is usable without the interface at least. :)
