Mostly just shorthand notes for myself so I don’t have to keep looking them up

- SSH into server
- if import container isn’t already running,
  - `/var/discourse/launcher start import`

- otherwise
  - `/var/discourse/launcher enter import`

- run download script, login must be manager/admin and NO 2FA
  - `script/import_scripts/google_groups.rb -e <email_address> -p <password> -g <group_name>`

- run migration script
- `import_mbox.sh`
- `exit`
