You can follow [Migrate a phpBB3 forum to Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrate-a-phpbb3-forum-to-discourse/30810). Just make sure you configure the [`site_name` in settings.yml](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/6394d7cddfacea494a0d7ae0ce0d687951074387/script/import_scripts/phpbb3/settings.yml#L14-L22) otherwise the import script assumes it’s a differential import and will skip data that _appears_ to be already imported.
