Recover to one site from multisite

Installation
1

Hi, I follow this Multisite configuration with Docker to multisite, now I want to recover to one site, what should I do except restore the app.yml file?

I really don’t understand what you’re trying to achieve here but if you want to move one site out of the multisite setup, you can do that by downloading a backup from the multisite and restoring it on the standalone site. You may have to do some remapping based on how this standalone is set up.

I just want to keep the first site, delete the second site.

Yes, Simplest approach is to take a backup of the first site, shut down the two containers (web_only & data) which you may have used while setting up multisite, set up a new site through ./discourse-setup and then restore your backup. A more advanced solution may include removing the second site config from the yml files, getting into the data container to drop the second database, removing the second site assets from the shared folder etc.

Hi, I follow your seconde method. I removed the database of the second site, and restored the app.yml config file. But I don’t know how to remove the second site assets from the shared folder, could you help me?

When I upgrade discourse, I got a empty page in plugin page, and error in console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'extend' of undefined

I think it’s due to the second site but I don’t know how to fix it. Thanks!

Could you pls help me? @sam

You’ll have to share your app.yml file redacting the passwords. I would blame this on some omission or error in your app.yml file that is causing this.

It’s my app.yml, thanks for your help.

Looking at your previous error and the app.yml, most probably it’s the rss plugin fork that you’re using. Something may be broken in it that’s probably causing the issue. Can you try rebuilding after disabling the plugin?

If I comment this plugin the plugin page is work. But before I upgrade discourse to latest version, the plugin work and has no problem.

So I am not sure it’s due to the upgrade of discourse or the multisite.

Especially, I found
https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-subscriptions/140818/77?u=livc
get same error on multisite.

This plugin is very important for my site and I have no idea now. :pensive:

If you made that plugin, try fixing it. If someone built it for you, try contacting them to get it fixed
