These may help you to get started: [image] Migrate from another forum to Discourse packageMigrating to Discourse mega This guide serves as a high level overview of the migration process. For specifics on the wide range of forum softwares to import, including Vanilla, phpBB3, SMF2, bbPress, and vBulletin, review our dedicated tutorials. Not all scripts have tutorials, but an exhaustive list of available imports is available under the script/import_scripts folder on GitHub.

thanks for helping this out. One more thing, all will be happen through SSH access right?

Yes, I believe so. You just need to follow the guides and edit where applicable, and things should go fairly smoothly.

If you are on the business plan or higher, you can pay for Discourse to migrate it for you. Otherwise, I’m not sure you can. Ideally, you should self-host for this.

I installed the discourse from digital ocean and I follwed the guide. But domain is not connect to main site. Actually i using main domain e.g. xyz.com after setup error is showing is 403. What I need to follow to fix this.

Did you register an A record in your domain that points to the DO droplet’s IP address?
