Import 5gb sql file into MYSQL database
-
@vadim the systemctl command can only be run via SSH (and not the web terminal).
If you are comfortable with docker, you can try one more thing:
- SSH into server
- Find the container of the traccar app. You can find this from
docker ps | grep traccar docker exec -ti <containerid> /bin/bash. Do the MySQL import here .
Thing is I suspect the web terminal is disconnecting because the command is running too long. Maybe there are proxies in the middle that disconnect the connection. There could be many reasons (OS/Network/Firewall/Proxy/Browser...). Doing docker exec directly atleast rules out most of the issues.
-
The issue here is that disk speed is quite low (90Mb/sec). To track the slow progress:
- Put app in recovery mode
- apt update && apt install pv
pv traccar.sql | mysql --user=${CLOUDRON_MYSQL_USERNAME} --password=${CLOUDRON_MYSQL_PASSWORD} --host=${CLOUDRON_MYSQL_HOST} ${CLOUDRON_MYSQL_DATABASE}
FWIW, it imported in < 10 mins in my test installation on DigitalOcean.

You can always directly upload it to the root server and move it into the
/app/data/folder.
Just rsync the file to the root server and move it to/home/yellowtent/appdata/{ID}/data/@BrutalBirdie said in Import 5gb sql file into MYSQL database:

Once on the root system you can copy it over and over for trying out different solutions so you don't have to wait for the upload over and over again. -

I have Traccar installed for 4 years since very old version. DB works perfect with new version. Could be there a problem with "old" db trying to import to a new installation?
-
@vadim so the DB is importing but you have to make sure that you import the database into the right version of traccar. Which version of traccar were you using?
Also, after import, have you tried inspecting the tables? Make sure you were not using any table prefixes etc.

@vadim when you installed traccar, did you install it with
Leave user management to the app? Otherwise, it will use LDAP by default. This flag can only be set at install time. So, start with a fresh installation and selectLeave user management to the appat install time. -
After a fresh installation with the option "Leave user management to the app" (the same option was used previously), none of the existing users are able to log in. Additionally, it's impossible to change or recover their passwords. I cleared the old database and proceeded with the import. However, after doing so, the system user admin@cloudron.local, who shouldn't be present, remained in the system after the import.

I guess you found this out by checking the users table in traccar ? In Cloudron package, the table name is
tc_users. What is the table name of users in your mysql dump? -
