You should have told me from the beginning! I would have gladly paid in the first place! hehe

It is up and running now.

After trying tons of things, I ended up doing some counterintuitive but that it is working now:

- Setup S3 in the new instance properly (via admin panel)
- Ran the import with the [–pause thing](https://meta.discourse.org/t/issues-with-restoring-backup-to-discourse/357885/16) but in the second step, just stopped the process. I was expecting the forum to no work or having issues with the images, but it is running and old images are loading with no issue.

I still testing things, maybe I find something broken later, but by now, after 12h of troubleshooting, I’ll call it a win for now.
