I’ve set up a brand new Discourse, I’ve activated it and it works fine. No changes have been applied at all. I’m trying to perform a PHPBB3 import, but it’s failing very early on, before the sql dump has even been called upon. Seems there is a problem creating a directory, but can’t understand why o…

Can you give it another try? It should work again. cd /var/discourse git pull ./launcher rebuild import https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/commit/3df237a641d4b0bdcf5068eb9a21420da1646da3

Please make sure that /var/discourse/shared/standalone/import/data/phpbb_mysql.sql exists and is a valid database dump. Then delete /var/discourse/shared/standalone/import/mysql/imported and try again.
