I successfully migrated Discourse to another server and the only issue is that the uploaded images in posts that were in the backup image are downloadable and viewable as a larger one. Images that were uploaded in posts after the migration are smaller and not downloadable. download_remote_images_to_local is active. What am I overlooking?

My guess is that the forum has to rebake all posts for the images to be correctly displayed. You can have a look at sidekiq to see if there are related tasks running ; if not, try to rebuild a post HTML and see if it “repairs” the post images?

I tried that and even flushed the sidekiq queue, but it all stays the same.

I only encountered this symptom when migrating a forum, before the posts were baked. I have no idea then. :pensive:

It’s okay, thank you for responding, though. I appreciate the effort.

@Bryanpwo, I’m no expert, but maybe I can take a quick look if you want to. I’d need temporary admin access to your forum for that.

Could this be the hotlink setting that was affecting you as well? Nope. I see what I have done. I conflated two of your recent topics into brain-mush. :slightly_smiling_face:

[image] Bryan Poerwo: download_remote_images_to_local is active. He stated that “download_remote_images_to_local is active.” so I guess this is not the issue. But maybe he ran out a bit of disk space during an automatic rebake of all posts or something like this? :man_shrugging:

It’s not the disk space, there’s plenty of it. (The VM it is running in still has around 300GB free) I am running baking uncooked posts to see if it solves the issue. I think it is done by tomorrow. It has to rebake 42512 posts. But the issue is with new posts from after the migration.

I took a look at @Bryanpwo’s forum and couldn’t see any obvious reason for which the Lightbox wouldn’t work. The issue is acknowledged though: [image] Lightbox not working on Discourse Support We’ve seen this happen intermittently and we are looking at what could be the cause. We need a consistent reproduction of this scenario more than once with steps one can follow, so we can find a fix for it. So far we haven’t been able to do this. For a quick fix, would you mind taking a full backup of your instance, reinstalling your instance following the standard install and restoring the full backup? That always seems to resolve the issue. We will keep looking at this though. Several users were able to fix this issue, but it seems there is an array of possible causes. https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=lightbox%20not%20working I couldn’t do more than suggest a restore on a fresh, standard install without any custom settings, plugins, themes, or theme components.

Hi Brian! [image] Bryan Poerwo: But the issue is with new posts from after the migration. Agreed; you said migrated posts are fine so I wouldn’t worry about rebaking or the like. This seems to be an issue with the post-migration configuration. Are you using an external asset host like S3 or some other object storage API? Is the site public by any chance, so that we might look at how the posts are rendered? Failing that, could you paste the raw and cooked fields (inside triple backtick quotes) for a new post that exhibits the issue?

After server migration the images in posts aren't downloadable anymore
