@pfaffman thank you for helping with this question, there’s one spot where I’m still a bit unclear.
On the new server (assuming the prerequisites are already installed), after cloning the Discourse repository, do I still need to run discourse-setup? I don’t believe it’s possible to issue the commands
until after setup completes. Or am I incorrect? If I am correct, this is the part I’m referring to, you have to essentially provide a set of default values before you are able to perform a restore.
