@girish aftering giving both redis and the app a load more memory the import worked fine. I don't know why I didn't just try that before to be honest.
I'm not sure how it managed to half-work before so that the apps was running and the import seemed to have worked, but without the users, but I've just done the back import again and the users have re-appeared, so panic over. Phew.
@subven I rebooted many times and unbound never came back so this isn't necessarily true. It wasn't until coming across this post that I was able to solve by repeatedly trying to start unbound times about 3 tries.
@jaschaezra We used to have that link in the docs but for some reason it got removed from mastodon upstream, which resulted in a broken link in our docs 🙂 Note the link I posted is actually in some fork and not upstream!
Rebuilding my CR now to get started. Really the instructions were perfect. The only additional thing I had to do was configure the crontab but that took like half a second. It will be interesting to see how to generate .env automatically, but I'm thinking about on 'first run,' I just stream it out with echo's or something.
