I want to get rid of snap.
I have RocketChat 0.69.0 installed via snap on Ubuntu 17.10.
I did backup of database with this manual
Now I have this backup file on my CentOS with new RocketChat.
How I can restore this database?
I have this manual, but I need more arguments for
mongorestore ~/backup
it does not work this way:
[root@localhost tsuser]# ls
backup backup.tgz
[root@localhost tsuser]# mongorestore backup

I need more arguments! 
Check contents of your backup folder. Sounds like it put full path inside the archive.
Probably something like: mongorestore --db rocketchat bacup/var/snap/rocketchat-server/common/dump/parties
Walk the folder tree and set the above path to where the .json files are sitting

You skipped providing the DB name you want to import as.
As above --db rocketchat /path/to/dump

@aaron.ogle, thanks a lot!
it’s works for me
mongorestore --db rocketchat backup/var/snap/rocketchat-server/1321/dump/parties/
Now I have my rocketchat back, but when I choose open channel I have error that “channel is not found”
Can I fix this problem some how?
Ok, I fix it!
The problem channel now called “general”, so I rename it to old name and now it’s work!
Thank a lot.
