Nitro Porter, the inter-software migration toolkit

linc

Jbugy Could you post what you had in your config file AFTER replacing the password with some other text?

luisg

linc Yes, Rich Editor. Thanks!

linc Or, download the already-built release from GitHub to sidestep Composer entirely.

Thanks! I get it.

But now I have another error :/

I have cloned vanilla database and a new flarum installation dabatase.

I set config.php at nitroporter and I get this:

Fatal error: Uncaught InvalidArgumentException: Database connection [flarum] not configured.[...]

What can happend?

Hi,
did you happen to look at that SQL file.
I could run it with XMB 1.19.12 but it generates errors as its written for older versions of php and in future may not work at all.
Recently i tried converting it again to SMF 2.0.0 with older converter.
It does convert members and topics but stops midway at 5600 posts, where as total posts are 26000+
There was nothing much i could do to proceed further as nobody at SMF supports this converter anymore.

phpBB converts from SMF (that too 1.1), not from XMB

Hi all

I'm running a managed, containerised (docker), instance of Flarum on elestio and about to start migrating a Drupal8-based forum across from another platform and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction or share their experience with me.

Installing extensions in this instance is done though adding an include statement in the docker_entrypoint.sh file. I've added one for linc/nitro-porter but when I spin up a CLI and try to run porter I get the message that "porter isn't installed." What am I missing here?

Also, I note that nitro-porter only seems to cover Drupal 6 & 7. Has anyone had any experience/success in modifying it to work with Drupal 8?

Any and all advice gratefully received.

AdamOD nitro Porter is not an extension. It's a library, a package.

Hello. I plan to move my Xenforo forum to Flarum. I'm just learning about composer. I don't know English so transferring this data is quite difficult for someone new to composer like me. I hope someone can record a video on how to use Nitro Porter on YouTube. Thank you very much.

linc Hello. I have a Xenforo forum with about 2000 members and a few hundred threads. I've been searching all week but still can't find a way to transfer. Please help me migrate data to Flarum. I thank you very much. I will write a thank you note to you in the footer of the website forever.

Hi! Can anyone help me troubleshoot migration from Drupal to Flarum? It is going OK until the following error:

(And after that there are several hunderd lines of values to insert, didn't paste these for obvious reasons.)

Any suggestions how to troubleshoot that?

linc

SnakePromise "Operation not permitted" during COMMIT suggests the INSERT statement may have an error in it. Could you paste the first couple records it's trying to import, obscuring their email address with 'x' or something similar?

linc

I'd like to invite folks with specific debugging issues in Nitro Porter to create discussions on the GitHub repo: linc/nitro-porterdiscussions — That's easier to cross-reference discussions on, since it effects more platforms than just Flarum.

Unfortunately, I'm not currently available for starting new free migrations (I'm already backlogged on a few I volunteered for, and need to pivot my attention elsewhere when they are complete), but I'm happy to help guide so that we can improve the tool and its documentation to a place that makes it more accessible. Work on the app will continue, even if I am inactive for certain stretches of time.

Hi @linc, thanks for NitroPorter and for trying to help!

(I made a discussion on github a week ago but nobody replied, so I thought maybe someone here could have any suggestions.)

Anyway, here are some values the script is trying to insert, from the end:

,(2010-12-03 11:14:14, ?, 1125, ?, 0, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1125, 1051, 108), (2010-12-04 19:51:36, ?, 1126, ?, 0, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1126, 1052, 4), (2010-12-05 15:05:14, ?, 1127, ?, 0, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1127, 1053, 4), (2010-12-06 17:08:29, ?, 1128, ?, 0, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1128, 1054, 61), (2010-12-07 13:07:19, ?, 1130, ?, 0, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1130, 1055, 18), (2010-12-07 13:26:37, ?, 1131, ?, 0, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1131, 1056, 2211), (2010-12-08 10:41:24, ?, 1132, ?, 0, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1132, 1057, 959), (2010-12-08 13:51:56, ?, 1133, ?, 0, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1133, 1058, 835), (2010-12-08 13:58:07, ?, 1134, ?, 0, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1134, 1059, 2202), (2010-12-09 02:24:07, ?, 1135, ?, 0, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1135, 1060, 138))

At first I thoght maybe title field has some symbols that are screwing up the query, so I replaces titles of discussions in Drupal database with consecutive numbers, as you see in the values. But the error persists.

linc

SnakePromise I'll followup over there as it appears there is more info there. It sometimes takes me a bit to wander by again, I just happened to pop in here first when I had some free time this week.

SnakePromise

If you prefer, I can post this info on github.

By the way, porter --help shows Nitro Porter, version v4.0, is that the expected behavior?

linc

SnakePromise It should also show "Commands:" after that.

SnakePromise

I tried to insert one array of these values manually through PHPMyadmin (as a SQL INSERT statement), worked without problem.

SnakePromise

linc I was unclear, sorry. It does list commands after that, I was just confused about version mismatch, I thought I installed 3.6, that shows as the latest available on Github.
