Description
The getting started guide assumes people are starting from scratch and doesn't help much with regards to importing existing databases.
We should add a guide for this and link to it from the end of the getting started section as well.
**Note:** Blocked on humanmade/altis-dev-tools#206 which will change which commands to document and run.
-----------
## Acceptance criteria:
- [ ] Go through the process of downloading a db backup and uploads from Altis Dashboard taking screenshots as you go of:
- The Imp / Exp tab and screen
- The Popup with both Database & Uploads selected
- [ ] Unzipping the output
- [ ] Copying uploads to `content/uploads`
- [ ] Copying the db zip file to your project root or path under the project root
### For Local Chassis:
- [ ] Document steps needed to import the database:
- Import: `composer chassis exec -- wp db import `
- Search & replace with example
### For Local Server:
- [ ] Document steps to import db:
- Import: `composer server cli -- db import `
- Search & replace with example, note must be to a subdomain of `altis.dev`
- [ ] Document synchronising uploads to S3 container:
- `composer server cli -- s3-uploads upload-directory content/uploads uploads`
- Explainer eg. S3 is more like a database than standard file storage
- Note that anything uploaded to the site will automatically be synced to the local uploads directory
**Side note** that for Altis v4 image import will be `composer server import-uploads`, we can update that once this initial guide has been merged and backported.
### Troubleshooting section:
- [ ] Flushing the cache
