When I try to login I get:

Also when trying to open other topics I get:

Maybe your Satan’s didn’t get migrated?

You can try

rake db:migrate

You don’t have skip post migrations set, do you? Is this a standard install?

It was docker setup and Discourse was running fine, I just exported the Docker container and imported it on another server along with the /var/discourse and started it, that’s all.
I also executed rake db:migrate but didn’t help.

4

Did you restore the backup?

Have you tried a rebuild?

5

I don’t think the database files are inside the container, so postgresql is likely to be missing the discourse database if not the entire set of database files.

A restore should fix it, as standard postgresql restore should create the discourse database. (But if that fails, try creating the database then do a restore.)

That isn’t the correct way to Move your Discourse Instance to a Different Server and will never work.
