we’re moving one of our client’s project board into their self-hosted taiga machine. taiga installation using docker-compose is pretty straightforward using this link: (same step I did with our own) [https://docs.taiga.io/setup-production.html](https://docs.taiga.io/setup-production.html) The exported project size is more than 2GB and I already made some adjustments in the taiga nginx config: increase nginx upload limit increase timeout ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/taiga/original/2X/a/a81c7a205ea77f459699ce1977159e393aa7a7f1.png) After importing the project file, I’m not receiving any email notifications that the project is ready. looking into rabbitmq-async logs I see this error: `operation basic.publish caused a channel exception precondition_failed: message size 2155813815 is larger than configured max size 134217728` updating the rabbitmq max\_message\_size is not working since the max allowed value is only 512MB (536870912 bytes) `max_message_size invalid, Max message size should be between 0 and 512MB` is there another way to upload this project? ---

Hi there! You should be able to import the project using the taiga-manage.sh script. It should be `./taiga-manage.sh load_dump path_to_your_json_dump email_of_the_new_project_owner`. Please take into account that the owner must already exist on your Taiga instance. Hope this helps, Best regards! ---

hi there Charlie! Thank you for replying in my concern. unfortunately I’m still encountering an error and its kinda confusing. ```auto # ./taiga-manage.sh load_dump /path/to/my/project-export.json my-email@domain.com [+] Creating 1/0 ✔ Container taiga-docker-taiga-db-1 Running 0.0s Traceback (most recent call last): File "/taiga-back/manage.py", line 17, in execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/django/core/management/ __init__.py", line 419, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/django/core/management/ __init__.py", line 413, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 354, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **cmd_options) File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 398, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/taiga-back/taiga/export_import/management/commands/load_dump.py", line 40, in handle data = json.loads(open(dump_file_path, 'r').read()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/path/to/my/project-export.json' ``` I tried move my json file somewhere, and I even copied it to the DB container `docker cp /path/to/my/project-export.json taiga-docker-taiga-db-1:/project-export.json` still same error. this is the content of my taiga-manage.sh script ```auto #!/usr/bin/env sh # This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public # License, v. 2.0.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/project-export.json' ``` so what I did next is I accessed the taiga-back container and ran the command there. ```auto docker exec -ti taiga-docker-taiga-back-1 /bin/bash python manage.py load_dump /project-export.json my-email@domain.com ``` it took some time and I still didn’t get any email (I think that’s expected?). but after checking the projects in the web dashboard, project was imported successfully. ---

Hi there, Glad to hear it worked! Not getting the email is expected, since you are importing it manually from the CLI (and also because the action is synchronous). Best regards!
