Hi there guys,
I’m moving a Discourse installation to a new server. The domain stays the same, but we have moved all old image uploads to a S3 digital ocean spaces with RCLONE. Did a clean discourse install, uploaded a backup without images. So far so good, all posts are there.
It is working with new uploads, but i am having a hard time rerouting old uploads in posts to this new location.
The old location was domain[dot]com/uploads/
The new location is a space.ams3.digitaloceanspaces[dot]com/
I have tried remapping:
discourse remap [olddomain.com/uploads/](http://olddomain.com/uploads/) [space.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/](http://space.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/)
and i have tried:
rake posts:rebake
rake posts:rebake\_match[“uploads”]
The paths that old images are linking to is still the old domain path. Seems like the remap and the rebake had no effect. Am i missing something obvious here?

Did you migrate the posts in the database?
The Uploads table has links to the location of each upload that need to be updated.
Please see [Set up file and image uploads to S3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setting-up-file-and-image-uploads-to-s3/7229)

Hi Michael,
Not sure if i understand fully. Did i migrate posts in the database. I’m guessing i did not? Every step i took is described. Do you have any more info on this?
I took a look at the topic you shared. I currently have a S3 on DO with all images already uploaded. Seems firing off “rake uploads:migrate\_to\_s3” will try to re-upload everything (300gb), so i’m looking to skip that part as we already moved the files 1:1. I just need to relink files. But i can’t find a lot of info on that issue in these forums. I made a post in the topic, see if anybody has idea what i overlooked.
- edit - seems migrate\_to\_s3 is just what i need, but!.. it does not work great with Digital Ocean’s S3? Whoops. [Migrate\_to\_s3 for Digital Ocean Spaces woes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrate-to-s3-for-digital-ocean-spaces-woes/109662)

Ended up making a simple cloudflare redirect. All works now except avatars.
