Can't import data in new version

[psic4t]

I tried to upgrade the db to v3 and followed the instructions, but I'm unable to import it back again.

I used:

docker run -v "/opt/containers/strfry/strfry.conf:/etc/strfry.conf" -v "/opt/containers/strfry/strfry-db:/app/strfry-db" dockurr/strfry /app/strfry import --fried < dbdump.jsonl

but nothing gets imported. Output from above command is:

dbdump.jsonl seems intact and is over 10 GBytes.

Any ideas?

Hmmm I'm not sure what could be the problem here. Can you paste the first line from dbdump.jsonl (or join our telegram and you can DM it to me).

I'm not too familiar with the docker invocation: Are you sure stdin is getting hooked up correctly? Also what strfry version are you using to import?

Hello Doug,

one year later I still have the same problem. export with --fried was no problem, but the import does not work.

I tried from inside the container:

app # ./strfry import --fried strfry-new/backup.jsonl

    Usage:
      import [--show-rejected] [--no-verify] [--debounce-millis=<debounce-millis>] [--write-batch=<write-batch>] [--fried]

Unexpected argument? Why?

This is the first line of the JSONL dump:

triton [/mnt/strfry-new]# head -n 1 backup.jsonl

When I try to import it from outside the container:

docker run --log-opt max-size=10m -v /opt/containers/strfry/strfry-db:/app/strfry-db -v
/opt/containers/strfry/strfry.conf:/etc/strfry.conf -v /mnt/strfry-new:/app/strfry-new ghcr.io/hoytech/strfry:latest import
--fried < /mnt/strfry-new/backup.jsonl

it just prints this:

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
