Hey been with phpbb since 2004 so transferring a decent size forum. Right now I’m two days in 303139/2167314 (14%) 446 per min. How can I speed it up? I’m on digital ocean and only using 4% CPU. Redis keeps timing out on me. I have have attachments turned off.

A few useful details would help narrow this down: Droplet size: RAM, vCPU count, disk type/size The exact import command you are running Your app.yml resource-related settings, with secrets removed, especially: UNICORN_WORKERS db_shared_buffers db_work_mem Whether the import is running inside t…

My updated log script/import_scripts/phpbb3.rb:15:in ‘’ 302570 / 2167314 ( 14.0%) [448 items/min] Exception while creating post 304683. Skipping. Waited 1.0 seconds /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/3.4.0/gems/redis-client-0.28.0/lib/redis_client/ruby_connection/buffered_io.rb:214:in ‘bloc…

The bulk importers are orders of magnitude faster, but harder to configure and make work.

[圖片] Ethsim2: the bottleneck may be database I/O, the source phpBB MySQL query side, Most of the time, this is it. I’ve been able to speed up the import by adding indexes, creating views, and tweaking the database settings. I suggest you invest a bit of time on that because if you find an err…

Still moving along though! var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/phpbb3/importer.rb:38:in 'ImportScripts::PhpBB3::Importer#execute' /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:47:in 'ImportScripts::Base#perform' /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/phpbb3/importer.rb:22:in 'ImportScripts…

It finished but I forgot to import the passwords so I have to start over :frowning: This time im going to prune some post though. I prob have a half million jello and count down posts lol. Thanks for the advice

[圖片] Mattash: It finished but I forgot to import the passwords so I have to start over We don’t import passwords, and I suggest you don’t either, for security purposes. After a migration, users are asked to reset their passwords via the “Forgot my password” button. It’s an extra step for the…
