I am trying to move discourse uploads to a new S3 location. I copied files say; from bucket1 to bucket2.  
Newly added uploads get saved at the new bucket2 location, but previously uploaded images the system still shows from the bucket1, the old location. What should I do to show it from the bucket 2?

Solved it this way.

```
 cd /var/discourse

 ./launcher enter app

discourse remap //BUCKET1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com //BUCKET2.s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com

```

🎉 Brilliant! I’d been considering how to do replacements in the various tables, but this solves is perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
