I still find it hard to believe that there aren't better tools in Liferay to automate importing of site lars. We using in docker where the construction of the containers happens on the fly using stuff pulled from GIT. For most things, wars, that's fine. For the stuff in Liferay's database its not so fine. We've decided just to dump the db, in our case postgres, from a staging instance and check into GIT along with the corresponding data folder. Then we actually tweak the SQL in some case's such as configuring an authentication plugin as part of the docker deployment. Not really liking this but I haven't found a better way yet. I feel in the age of containerization Liferay presents some challenges. I'll happily admit I could be wrong with this opinion.
