XF 2.3 Importing from discourse

[ScrapBlox]

Alright so I've installed and setup XenForo installed the importers add on and uploaded a backup download of my discourse install and typed that into the importer however it needs PostgreSQL information which I don't know where to find/provide.

What else needs done here or how would I find the information for the importer?

You should enter the database credentials so XenForo can connect to the discourse database

I used docker I don't have/know that info as it was automatically set.

Thanks. I just purchased a license based on this conversation.

Now when trying to do the data import, it is asking to connect to a DB. How do I bypass this and import from a backup?

I also ended up getting the importer to work the way I did it was copy the discourse database and upload in a database that wasn't in the docker container with that I was then able to connect to it and run the importer the only issue I ran into was password encryption I just commented all that out as I already informed users passwords would probably have to be reset.

What did you use to "host" the database outside of the container?
