I guess probably you can export your settings from DB.
discourse=>\dt
...
...
public | single_sign_on_records | table | discourse
public | site_customizations | table | discourse
public | site_settings | table | discourse
public | stylesheet_cache | table | discourse

Notice site_settings table. You can also take this data from your backup. It already have a dump of your database inside it.
Then all you need to do is restore this table to your server from your local dump. ![]()
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
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 `<main>': 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!

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. You need to download the script from github and have Ruby installed.
rake site_settings:import < settings.yml
Solo quería mencionar la versión de Docker de este comando:
d/rake "site_settings:import < settings.yml"
en caso de que obtengas:
El dispositivo de entrada no es un TTY
Hola @pfaffman
Lo intenté exactamente como se indicó… ./discourse-settings-uploader https://discourse.example.com d35989078a system site_settings.json
Pero mi script falla y no estoy seguro de por qué ni cómo.
Muestra E! 404 Not Found para cada configuración.
He eliminado tu captura de pantalla ya que incluye tu clave API. Si lo deseas, puedes añadir otra captura que no contenga (o que oculte) los datos sensibles. También deberías rotar la clave, ya que al haber sido pública, debe considerarse comprometida.
Gracias por la respuesta inmediata. A partir de ahora me encargaré de dichas prácticas.
Si estás recibiendo un error 404, es posible que tu clave API sea incorrecta o que no se encuentre en el lugar donde el script puede localizarla.
He verificado esto. Y todas mis APIs están funcionando con la misma clave.
Estoy seguro de que el script está buscando en el lugar correcto, ya que la declaración de registro muestra URLs como:
{url}/admin/site_settings/title
{url}/admin/site_settings/site_description
He descargado site_settings.json de un sitio y ahora estoy intentando cargar la configuración en un sitio2 existente. ¿Debo realizar alguna edición en el archivo site_settings.json que descargué?
Eso es extraño. Lo siento, pero esa es mi mejor respuesta gratuita. Puedes enviarme un mensaje si tienes un presupuesto.
Hay una tarea de rake que puedes probar si estás autoalojado en ambos sitios.
Yo no uso ese script en estos días. Podría ser que algo en Discourse haya cambiado, pero lo dudo. Si estás seguro de que estás usando la clave de API del sitio al que intentas escribir, entonces no tengo ninguna idea.
Intenté usar rake site_settings:export > settings.yml. Noté que las etiquetas y los grupos de etiquetas que configuré en mi servidor de Discourse no se exportaron. ¿Por qué ocurre eso?
Las etiquetas son etiquetas, no configuraciones del sitio. No tengo conocimiento de ninguna forma de migrar etiquetas.
¿Hay alguna forma de también exportar la configuración de plugins componentes de tema?
