Hi, I had to move an abandoned Discourse forum. Luckily, we had multiple admins, so it was possible to do and download a backup. We used a S3 bucked for our assets, which was kind of a problem. I’ll make a feature request at this point: Make it possible to include S3 assets into backups I found…

[이미지] LimitlessGreen: I found out (not sure if it was before or after rebaking the posts), that S3 asset URLs got rewritten to internal ones. That sounds like a misconfiguration, not a bug. Did you configure the same S3 bucket on the new host before restoring?

I restored the backup, which also contains the configuration. After doing that (and force https) I don’t got pictures from the S3 bucket at all. Now I removed the S3 configuration completely. Isn’t it a complete configuration overwrite?

[이미지] LimitlessGreen: which also contains the configuration. Except the S3 configuration, if it was previously configured using ENV vars in app.yml …

[이미지] LimitlessGreen: Make it possible to include S3 assets into backups There is a hidden setting that does just that. Cdck turns it on for customers that they know plan to plan their hosting. S3 configuration is best done in environment variables as described in Using Object Storage for Up…

After restoring, I had set configs in: s3 upload bucket and s3 cdn url. I don’t have access to the app.yml (of the old server).

[이미지] pfaffman: There is a hidden setting that does just that. Oh, nice! :grinning: Where? The only suitable option in the backup section I fond was: [grafik] (which was ticked) I’m not sure if it’s clear: I don’t want S3 for now. And I had to get the assets from there. No one knows, how …

If you don’t have access to the server via ssh you can’t change the hidden setting.

Alright. And what should be done now in a case like mine? What can lead to this broken image preview?

If it’s not too late (that is, there’s traffic on the forum that’s happened and you don’t want to lose) and you have the S3 credentials, then I’d probably put the s3 credentials in the app.yml and re-run the restore. From there, you could probably set the hidden setting, do a backup, and restore it …

Yeah, sadly I don’t have the S3 credentials :frowning: I can reproduce the steps: Installed a new Discourse Forum with discourse_docker behind Traefik Did a backup of the old forum (including some old assets) Restored the backup on the new forum Forced HTTPS Got asset URLs out of the dump.sql (f…
