My discourse site has a group that needs to migrate to a different self-hosted Discourse instance, under a different domain. Only the users of that group will go to the new instance. Is it possible to transfer only the private group messages that are in our inbox to the new instance?
I believe you can move regular topics, but for PMs, I don’t think there is currently a way. You may be able to do something with the API or rails console though.
Okay, the list of topical threads in the inbox is not overwhelming, barely 10 threads. I wouldn’t know how to do that with the API. I guess a manual copy will be easier once everyone is registered in the new instance. We’ll just lose the correct timestamps.
What if you converted the PMs into regular topics, move them, them move them back into a PM? Though I’m not sure about the group inbox flow.
