Can anyone share a link to a database dump containing all the public posts and files on this forum? I would like to raise a completely local version on the same engine with the ability to search
How to make a full dump of this forum?
Maybe we could use a wayback machine or archive site?
The best option would be for one of the admins to create a backup of the site and share it with us.
Without that, though, we can still get most of the data we want.
-
Archive with all of the markdown content (replace
/t/$SLUG
with/raw
, e.g. https://discourse.urho3d.io/raw/7367) -
Archive of the json content (which has most/all of the visible metadata like likes and such, as well as the “cooked” markdown) from the threads (add
.json
to the end of the url to see what I mean).
It does not include the images/csv files that have been uploaded, etc.
The contents of the archives I have also pushed to the repository, if you wish to browse them online. Note that uploaded files will not be visible, as they use a special url that discourse translates.
