I’ve been running a self-hosted Discourse site for about four and a half years now (since September 2014), and I just received a report of several broken image links on my site. After looking into the issue, I noticed that the paths to all of the offending images were in the format uploads/default/X…

Didn’t you run into this too @sam ? Old installs have this issue.

[image] kansaichris: Is there any reason that images stored in directories like /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/default/240/ would be automatically moved to the tombstone directory even if they are still being actively referenced by existing posts? Looks like you have images that wer…

[image] zogstrip: Looks like you have images that were not migrated to the new scheme. Have you disabled the migrate to new scheme site setting? Interesting…I couldn’t find a “migrate to new scheme” site setting via the web interface; I assume you’re talking about a setting that can only be …

[image] kansaichris: I certainly never disabled it myself! Should it have automatically been changed to true at some point? My bad, it’s a manual process. [image] kansaichris: Which of these three methods is considered best practice? So, the UploadRecovery class that @tgxworld built i…

[image] zogstrip: My bad, it’s a manual process. Oh, okay. Does this mean that I will also need to disable the setting (i.e. run SiteSetting.migrate_to_new_scheme = false) after the migration process is complete? [image] zogstrip: So, the UploadRecovery class that @tgxworld built is an i…

[image] kansaichris: Does this mean that I will also need to disable the setting (i.e. run SiteSetting.migrate_to_new_scheme = false ) after the migration process is complete? Won’t hurt if you leave it enabled. [image] kansaichris: are you saying that changing the value of SiteSetting.m…

[image] zogstrip: Looks like you have images that were not migrated to the new scheme. Could you explain what is this? Should everyone do it? Or it should be done by old users? How should we know?

[image] hosna: Should everyone do it? Or it should be done by old users? Only very old (> 4 years old) Discourse instances. [image] hosna: How should we know? You can check by doing ./launcher enter app rails c Upload.where("url NOT LIKE '//%' AND url NOT LIKE '/uploads/default/origi…

Thanks for the clarification, @zogstrip ! I just ran rake posts:rebake and rake uploads:recover in my Docker container, but so far it doesn’t look like any of my older uploads have been migrated to the new storage scheme. Of course, even though the rake posts:rebake command only took a few minutes to…

[image] kansaichris: Interestingly enough, when I try to run this I encounter the following error: NameError: undefined local variable or method `db' for main:Object from (pry):2:in `__pry__' Am I missing something here? It’s my bad, I copy-pasted directly from the code and forgot to remove…

How can I migrate files from the old upload scheme (default/XXX) to the new one (default/original/{1,2}X)?
