Restore from backup

Restoring from backups only work if you are on the same version of Discourse. Otherwise you need to upgrade from the current box and reapply the rake migrations.

• Make sure "restore from backups" is enabled
• go to /admin/backups/logs
• restore from a tar.gz file

Restoring will take a few min. The admin will get an email when the process is done.

Bringing online a new box from scratch

• Enable Google Oauth and Github Oauth
• Set up s3 uploading
  • set up backups to go through s3
  • enable backups
