I have a postgres dump from an old legacy forum I built
I wrote most of the custom import script, but having trouble navigating docker to import the legacy db to the host running postgres and run the import script
It’s also possible my script has a few bugs to fix, as I haven’t run it yet.
I need someone to import the database dump & run/fix the migration script until data is imported
When do you need it done?
Ideally in 1-2 weeks (complete by ~Feb 14-20th)
What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?
I estimate 1-3 hours of work depending on knowledge of discourse installs / docker, willing to pay $200.
My rates for running even a known-working import script are beyond your budget, but you might have more luck testing your code if you install a development environment rather than trying to run in a Docker container. Here are instructions–mac, Ubuntu. You should be able to find windows in #howto:devs .
@sgjames I think @pfaffman is right. This sounds like potentially a lot more than 1-3 hours work, and my rates for an import are very much out of your price range too.
Converting a postgres dump from a completely different forum type into an import that preserves posts, authorship, and any other metadata in a Discourse-friendly way is potentially a significant piece of work.
