I am attempting to export a Category from an up-to-date Discourse Docker deployment (v1.6.0.beta1 +14) on Digital Ocean, using the command line tool kindly documented by @neil in [this thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-and-category-export-import/38930) I’m following these steps: - I ssh into the DO Droplet - `cd /var/discourse` - execute `./launcher enter app` to enter the Docker container - `su - discourse` to become the Discourse user - `cd var/www/discourse` - `bundle exec script/discourse export_category 15` (I checked beforehand via Rails console that Category id 15 is the one I need) Unfortunately, it fails with the error `FATAL: database "discourse_development" does not exist (ActiveRecord::NoDatabaseError)` The full stack trace is [here](http://pastebin.com/k6G7XNUj) Can anyone help? Is this user error on my part or a bug? Should I even _have_ a development database in a production docker deploy like mine? Is this perhaps because I’m using `./launcher enter app` rather than `./launcher ssh app`? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-topic-export-fails-with-error-database-discourse-development-does-not-exist/42938)._
