Is it possible, after tuning Discourse on local computer, to export all settings into file and upload them into production? Thanks.

Courtesy of @blake we now have rake tasks to export/import site settings: rake site_settings:export > settings.yml rake site_settings:import < settings.yml

For those who do not have access to rake tasks, I also have contributed a settings uploader that uses the API: GitHub - pfaffman/discourse-settings-uploader: Install a Discourse settings JSON file to a site · GitHub

Hello, I’ve used discourse-settings-uploader to upload site_settings.json file from the GitHub Jay mentioned. I get this error when I run it: ./discourse-settings-uploader:39:in ` ': undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) line39: settings['site_settings'].each do |setting| line40: jsetting (setting) unless setting['value'] == setting['default'] line41: end I used an API key for “All Users” and used “system” when I ran discourse-settings-uploader. Any thoughts?

For future reference some problems I had using discourse-settings-uploader, getting 301 errors: ./discourse-settings-uploader community.mysite.com 22f7d44321ae2365d3e3a5e9224524ba0e7302bd75ed06bfbh31ed5090ec6d3b system site-settings.json SiteSettingtitle="Mysite" E! 301 Moved Permanently I get this error once for each setting. But I can browse the site successfully at those URLs. So I figured out - it’s going through http, and that is disabled. So now I add https to my site name and I get a different error: SiteSettingtitle="My sIte" E! SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed (unable to get local issuer certificate) something's wrong with https://community.mysite.com/admin/site_settings/title {"title"=>"Mysite", :api_key=>"22f7d44321ae2365d3e3a5e9224524ba0e7302bd75ed06bfbh31ed5090ec6d3b ec6d3b", :api_username=>"system"} So this boils down to a deficient local configuration of root certificates, it seems. I could go off and waste an afternoon on this, but instead what I did was turn off verify_ssl. It’s very insecure and horrible things will happen to you and your children and your children’s children but for this case, I just didn’t care. So in the uploader script I added this method: def put_no_ssl(url, payload, headers={}, &block) RestClient::Request.execute(method: :put, url: url, :payload => payload, headers: headers, verify_ssl: false, &block) end And below, I changed the call from r = RestClient.put(url, my_hash) to r = put_no_ssl(url, my_hash) And it worked! :sunglasses:

Hello community, I need to export the site settings from the production to the staging. I found this instruction Discourse-Settings Uploader, created a json file with settings but do not have a possibility to import it. I do not know where I can run this command ./discourse-settings-uploader HOSTURL API_KEY API_USER SETTINGS_FILE Should it be done via terminal? My client told me that they use a community discourse and do not have terminal access. What does it mean? How is it better to solve my issue? I am pretty new to this, so I need your help. Thank you in advance.

Have a look at Backup only Site Settings - #5 by pfaffman. You need to download the script from github and have Ruby installed.

rake site_settings:import < settings.yml just wanted to mention the docker version of this command: d/rake "site_settings:import < settings.yml" in case you get The input device is not a TTY

I tried using rake site_settings:export > settings.yml. I noticed that the tags and tags groups that I configured on my Discourse server are not exported. Why is that?
