I’m currently reading this [article](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setting-up-file-and-image-uploads-to-s3/7229), where I will need to execute:
```plaintext
rake uploads:migrate_to_s3
rake posts:rebake
```
Before that, I will need to enter inside the container.
```plaintext
# docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
7a5093d6af50 local_discourse/app "/sbin/boot" 5 hours ago Up 5 hours 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, :::80->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:443->443/tcp, :::443->443/tcp app
```
Could you please show me how to access the container?
Surely, I can google regarding docker stuff, just wanted to make sure here, in Discourse community.

Easiest way to do that would be:
```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
```
Just FYI, S3 migration is currently irreversible.

Thanks!
> S3 migration is currently irreversible.
To be specific, I’m going to use Wasabi instead of S3, and I’m not thinking to change to any other sort of storage. Then I’m OK to proceed, right?

I’d say, try it on a sandbox before making such changes to production. Results may be unexpected depending upon how much compatible wasabi is.
