Importing

Importing is meant to be a one-time operation. They are irreversible, i.e., importing from the same source twice will create duplicates. I recommend you to make a database backup before starting an import.

An import can fail at various steps or for a specific item. Ryot creates a report when an import completes/fails. You can see them under "Import History" of the imports page.

Notes

• Imports will only import items that have been completed. To import items that are in progress, you need to set up an integration or update the progress manually.
• Imports are very difficult to have 100% success rate. Though we try our best, you might have to manually import some data from your previous provider.
• Imports might take a long time since Ryot needs to fetch all metadata from the sources before it can start importing progress. Estimated finish time is displayed in the UI.
• I recommend turning on debug logging for the duration of the import using the RUST_LOG=ryot=debug environment variable. This will help you help you see import progress in the docker logs.
• If your importing goes wrong, you can always reset the user data from the user settings. Keep in mind that this will delete ALL data for that user.
