Since electerm-web v3, the application uses SQLite instead of NeDB for better performance and stability. If you're upgrading from v2 and have existing data, you'll need to migrate your data.

1. Install electerm-data-tool:

   npm install -g electerm-data-tool

2. Export your data from NeDB:

      # data folder should have a nedb-database child folder
      electerm-data-tool --data-path "/path/to/your/data-folder-which-has-nedb-database-sub-folder" --app-type web migrate

3. Start electerm-web v3 and go to the Data Sync panel

4. Import your data: Upload the data.json file in the Data Sync panel to restore your data
