Hi, folks,
I recently was asked to migrate a NetDisco instance. I built a new
instance, added a couple of users, and all looked well. Then I imported--or
tried to--the data. The load appears to have failed.
Is there a particular place in the build of the new instance when the
old data should be loaded?
Thanks,
John A

Hi John,
We make it this way:
Very important: Update the current Netdisco instance to the same version as
the new one!!
Create database backup on the current Netdisco VM
Stop the Netdisco services
Dump the database
~/bin/netdisco-web stop ~/bin/netdisco-backend stop pg_dump -U netdisco -h
localhost -c -Fc netdisco > netdisco.dump
Transfer the dump file to the new machine, for example with WinSCP
File location: /tmp/netdisco.dump
Import the dump on the new Netdisco instance
Stop the Netdisco services
Drop the current Netdisco database
Create a new Netdisco database
Restore the database dump file to the new database
sudo su - postgres psql -U postgres -d postgres -c "DROP DATABASE netdisco;"
psql -U postgres -d postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE netdisco;"
pg_restore -d netdisco ../../../tmp/netdisco.dump
exit
Regards,
Bastian
