You need to put the uploads/images somewhere that they can be accessed from inside the container. Maybe in /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/ and then they’ll be in /shared/uploads inside the container.

By uploads/images you mean .csv file, database image etc

@"pfaffman

You get into the container with

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app

Then you’ll be in /var/www/discourse and see the scripts.

Okay that worked so I now get I was installed onto machine, but then have to go into the docker (virtual machine) , which is where my Discourse instance is actually running and I can then cd /shared/uploads

If you’ve a budget, I can set things up for you. See Migrate to Discourse Discussion Platform from your current forum software.

Well I dont have much budget, and I also like to understand things myself if possible. But if you could get me started with instructions for importing users/topics/forums then Im happy to spend $200 on the advice.
