RiffEdu bulk loading command procedure

• get the import.json (or whatever you name it) file to the RiffEdu instance in the ~/tmp directory
• find the container id of the edu-stk_edu-mm container (e.g. 78119bd4328b)

docker cp tmp/import.json 78119bd4328b:/home/mmuser/
docker exec -it 78119bd4328b bash
cd riffedu
bin/mattermost import bulk ~/import.json --validate
bin/mattermost import bulk ~/import.json --apply
exit
