@Rodelio_Lagahit I found the help in this forum – including from members of the core dev team – to be remarkable. But you do need to have some decent sysadmin skills to tackle this stuff in the first place.

I read through lots of forums and docs in order to figure out everything I needed to do.  
If there was one thing that I wish I figured out earlier, it’s this: I needed to setup a local Vagrant instance and do the import and configuration there. _Then_ I exported the database and re-imported it in my production Docker.

If you aren’t able to get things going on your own, check with [Discourse](http://www.discourse.org) and [[Communiteq](https://www.communiteq.com) (formerly DiscourseHosting)]([https://www.communiteq.com](https://www.communiteq.com)). I seem to recall that both can help you with importing/installing for a one-time fee.
