See here:

- [Importing phpBB into Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-phpbb-into-discourse/7956)
- [phpBB 3 Importer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/phpbb-3-importer/17397)

Granted, some of that stuff is fairly old, but the info is there. TL;DR:

1. Install Discourse.
2. Make phpBB’s mysql server available over the internet.
3. Enter Discourse’s container, edit `script/import_scripts/phpbb3.rb` and fill in your database server settings.
4. Run `ruby phpbb3.rb`.
