Migrating assets from old installation into docker

Wait, why not simply use the backup/restore option?

The files are all there, but they are not in the container, see this line:

samples/standalone.yml

master


      
          
          ## The http or https CDN address for this Discourse instance (configured to pull)
          ## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/14857 for details
          #DISCOURSE_CDN_URL: https://discourse-cdn.example.com

Search that area on the host.
