Hi, Is phpBB3.3.3 supported or is it strictly 3.3.0? When performing the 1.5 step: /var/discourse/launcher enter import from Migrate a phpBB3 forum to Discourse - documentation / sysadmin - Discourse Meta I’m receiving (already tried twice) the response: x86_64 arch detected. Error response fr…

Hi, welcome! :wave: I assume you followed the guide from the start; is /var/discourse/containers/import.yml file actually present? It looks like the config file has been deleted. :thinking:

Yes, it’s like in the message above, both app.yml and import.yml are present in the “containers” directory.

If I understand well, you had no issue following the previous steps, creating/editing the import.yml next to app.yml, rebuilding the import container, and now you can’t even enter it. Is that right? That’s odd for sure! What returns this command? ls -l /var/discourse/containers

It’s still the same: app.yml and import.yml (plus a “bak” file of app.yml). There might be “issues” as I’ve been trying to install this on Lightsail 1GB (which is initially 940 and after updating Ubuntu becomes “921MB”). I used the official installation and what was installed was something like 3.…

[이미지] JPD: “launcher rebuild import” about 2h Was it successful? After a rebuild, the container should be started. You can’t enter the container if it’s not started (./launcher start import) [이미지] JPD: Could something be incorrectly terminated due to the low memory condition? That wo…

Apparently, RAM is an issue. For the Lightsail 2GB/2GB, the clean installation is about 3.5-4x faster and the rebuilding of the import container was about (or even over) 10x faster. Still, I’m afraid the import script might not work for phpBB 3.3.3. Anyway, I tried twice with the same result: only …

I would recommend at least 4gb of ram. Are there any errors? It sounds like the script quit after it got one category?

You mean 4GB to open/read/parse that 2.6MB text file? Are you the Discourse developer? A binary executable to read that dump (extracting all the data used by Discourse) and save it to anything else should be imo around 200KB with a, say, 100KB buffer (without bothering with the inclusion of the whol…

I make my living supporting discourse and have done more migrations than I can count, but I think a hundred or more. 2gb will likely work, especially if you have only a few thousand topics and users, but since you need it for unit a small amount of time, more ram isn’t expensive and can’t hurt. I ag…

Since you say it didn’t import anything Not exactly: " all (a few hundred) users were imported correctly along with their statistics" I tried to rebuild the container again. The same settings. I didn’t change anything and after the step: import_phpbb3.sh # inside the Docker container the scri…

최소 4GB의 RAM을 권장합니다.
