The playbook supports importing Postgres dump files in **text** (e.g. `pg_dump > dump.sql`) or **gzipped** formats (e.g. `pg_dump | gzip -c > dump.sql.gz`).
Importing multiple databases (as dumped by `pg_dumpall`) is also supported.
Importing multiple databases (as dumped by `pg_dumpall`) is also supported.
But the migration might be a good moment, to "reset" a not properly working bridge. Be aware, that it might affect all users (new link to bridge, new roomes, ...)
Before doing the actual import, **you need to upload your Postgres dump file to the server** (any path is okay).

**Note**: `<server-path-to-postgres-dump.sql>` must be a file path to a Postgres dump file on the server (not on your local machine!).

- `postgres_default_import_database` defaults to `matrix`, which is useful for importing multiple databases (for dumps made with `pg_dumpall`). If you're importing a single database (e.g. `synapse`), consider changing `postgres_default_import_database` accordingly

Once the database is clear and the ownership of the tables has been fixed in the SQL file, the import task should succeed.

Check, if `--dbname` is set to `synapse` (not `matrix`) and replace paths (or even better, copy this line from your terminal)
