Download remote images from older posts?

Support
1

Hi.

I’ve imported a phpbb forum a while ago.
I think I didn’t set the option to download the remote images during the importation since older posts have embedded images with external links.

I would like to download all these images from older posts.

Is there a command to do this? I have about 150000 posts to be parsed.

Any advice here @vinothkannans or @gerhard?

  • Enable “download remote images to local” site setting.
  • Set “download remote images max days old” site setting’s value to 3650 (for 10 years).
  • Increase the value of “rebake old posts count” site setting to “300”. To increase it more than 300 you should adjust the global rate limiter setting “max_old_rebakes_per_15_minutes” too.
  • And set the “baked_version” of old posts to “NULL” in rails console.
    ./launcher enter app
rails c
> Post.update_all(baked_version: nil)   # or Post.created_since(N.days.ago).update_all(baked_version: nil)

Now all the remote images in old posts will get downloaded automatically in the speed of 300 posts per 15 minutes.

Quick question: why is it necessary to do this:

Post.update_all(baked_version: nil)

If I set download remote images max days old to 20 years?

That will initiate slow rebake on all posts because system will detect it needs to rebake posts to new version…

But I saw a post from 2010 which contained a remote image, I didn’t change anything but download remote images max days old setting, and the remote image was automatically downloaded after a few minutes.

The very old post was indeed edited by system in order to download the remote image.

edit : over the night, other old images have been automatically downloaded, which is nice, but I definitively don’t undestand the update_all(baked_version: nil) part then.

Hi,
I applied that script but I’m if there is a major impact on performance and serveur room ?
