Hi,

I am trying to migrate all my data in old server v2.0.17 to new server with 
v2.5.7

I tried to follow this steps:

1. On the old server, dump your site data.
> sudo rb-site manage /path/to/site dumpdata > /path/to/backup/rbdump.json
> 2. Open the dump file in a text editor and find all the entries 
> whose "model" is "contenttypes.contenttype" or "scmtools.tool", and delete 
> those entries.
> 3. On the new server, create a new site following the directions on the 
> ReviewBoard site.  Note that you don't have to use the same database type 
> as your old server (my old server used MySQL, my new server uses 
> PostgreSQL).
> 4. On the new server, load the old site data.
> sudo rb-site manage /path/to/site loaddata /path/to/backup/rbdump.json


using sed command to substitute rbdump.json (step 2)

> sed 's/{"pk": [0-9][0-9]*, "model": "contenttypes\.contenttype", "fields": 
> {"model": "[a-z][a-z]*", "name": "[a-z ][a-z ]*", "app_label": 
> "[a-z_][a-z_]*"}},//g' ../rbdump.json > ../rbdump2.json


However the output is below:

> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/usr/bin/rb-site", line 9, in <module>
>     load_entry_point('ReviewBoard==2.5.7', 'console_scripts', 'rb-site')()

I also have been trying other method simply dump my postgresdb to new 
machine, but it does not work (I am using docker container)

> 1) Do a pg_dump on the old database server.
> 2) Use pg_restore to import the dump in the new database container.
> 3) Run rb-site install and connect rb container to database container. 

4) There is no error but login is incorrect and menu bar is missing 


I am pretty clueless, been working on this for days and I have no idea 
which method should I go with - noting that those guides are pretty old. 
Could you please advise me the steps to upgrade v2.0.17 to v2.5.7. Thank 
you so much!
