I found this post with instructions on how to use the rails console to mass close topics: Auto-close old topics from a migrated forum - #10 by zogstrip A couple of questions about it, though: Is there a newer way to do this? If I wanted to do the close based on the last activity date (rather tha…

I did end up setting up a staging server (was pretty easy to do, actually - just restored a backup from prod and logged in using the admin recovery procedure, since it’s configured for OIDC only). Looks like we have about 160K topics, and a quick test on just one category with about 7500 took 6 min…

Thanks - I suspected that might be the case. Good to have confirmation on the approach. I think what I may do is see about pulling one of the recent backups and setting up a sandbox environment separate from my test environment. Not sure how the SSO piece will work in that setup, but it would be …

That’s a good idea: [תמונה] Set up a staging server Sysadmins There are several tricks that can help when you are setting up a staging server. What is a staging server? A staging server is essentially a clone of a production site. It also resides on a server,…

Definitely - appreciate the pointer to the staging server post as well - that will be quite helpful. Yeah, user load is not likely to be a huge issue - looks like our page views per day is around 50K on average across all (crawlers, anonymous, and registered users). Understanding the potential inc…
