This issue remains not solved, but here’s my workaround for getting the Discourse backup into the VM.
- [Get your VM up: Start Github, open Git shell,
vagrant up,vagrant ssh] - Start Filezilla on your host.
- Connect to 127.0.0.1:2222 via SFTP with username: vagrant and password: vagrant
- Copy the Discourse backup to
/vagrant/public/backups/default - Back in the Git shell, start the rails instance
bundle exec rails s -b 0.0.0.0 - In browser
http://localhost:4000/admin/backupssee your backup listed. - Click restore (assuming in Discourse Settings, “allow restore” is checked)
After successfully uploading and restoring my backup, here’s a df -Pk
