Hi! I was using flarum to host my forum with about 1k posts and users. And I was thinking about migrating from flarum to discourse lately. I have checked several posts on this but didn’t find a detailed tutorial to do this.

Now I have the database as a .sql file and have the discourse installed on my server with the migration `.rb` scrip in the development environment but don’t know how to proceed with the migration process and would really appreciate a tutorial on this.

Another question is with the official .rb script, can I also mgirate the users as well as their passwords to the new discourse forum?

Many thanks!
