How to export taiga project using CLI? (failed export)

Troubleshooting
1

We cannot export our project using the web UI (export project) for some unknown reason. I think the possible reason is that the project is too big. When I try to create a dummy project and export it, it is successful.

I tried to export it using the CLI

docker exec -ti taiga-docker-taiga-back-1 /bin/bash

root@ed360cc1cadd:/taiga-back# python manage.py dump_project -v 3 -f gzip my-project
Killed
root@ed360cc1cadd:/taiga-back#

However, if I try to export my dummy project, it was successful.

root@ed360cc1cadd:/taiga-back# python manage.py dump_project -v 3 -f gzip dummy-project
-> Generate dump of project 'dummy-project' in './dummy-project.json.gz'
root@ed360cc1cadd:/taiga-back#

I don’t see any logs in another window running docker-compose logs -f
where can I check why it failed?

Our Taiga is running using Docker (using the 30-minute setup documentation).

Hi there!

Is it a Linux host? If so, check the journal/syslog, just in case there’s something external to docker killing the process.

Best regards!

hi!

Yes, it was an error in the Linux host (out of memory). We had to upgrade our Linux host with 128GB of RAM to accommodate the project export process. (project size was 30 GB in JSON format) same thing by importing it, more RAM. thank you!
