Re: [gitorious] Migrating OLD Gitorious to new 2.4.9

2013-04-08 Thread Thomas Kjeldahl Nilsson 
Hi again,

you'll want to consider two things:

1) For high-load Gitorious sites, any operations currently on the message queue 
won't make it over to the new instance
2) The clone operation itself is non-destructive, but could impose a load on 
the system right when you're running it (mysql dump and rsync of all your data)

Night-time/low activity time slots is probably safest. :)

cheers,
Thomas

Thanks Thomas!

Is this safe to run during the day or should I plan to run it at night and
stop the server?

Re: [gitorious] Migrating OLD Gitorious to new 2.4.9

2013-04-08 Thread Thomas Kjeldahl Nilsson 

Hi Chris,

actually, there's now a simpler way to migrate than backing up and 
restoring in two steps. It's very new and not in the last official 
release (2.4.12), but we've added a bin/migrate script that makes it 
possible to clone the state of one gitorious instance into another.


You'll find it if you clone/pull HEAD from the mainline repo. It can 
simply be copied or cherry-picked directly into an old installation, as 
it's explicitly built not to have any dependencies to recent Gitorious 
versions.


We're still putting it through its paces and haven't 
announced/documented it officially yet but we are using it internally at 
Gitorious AS and there should be enough here and in the script itself to 
get you started. Feel free to ask if you get stuck!


regards,
Thomas

Hello All,

We are currently on Gitorious 2.1.0 and would like to migrate to 2.4.9 
(or whatever is latest when we get there).


The plan I have is below but I had some quesitons for specific steps 
if you guys have any insight:


1. Install 2.4.9 on a new server as a clean install
2. Backup existing 2.1.0 (How?)
3. Restore on new 2.4.9 server

Is this possible?  I haven't found clear instructions on how to backup 
a 2.1.0 instance and not even sure I can go all the way to 2.4.9.


Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

[gitorious] Migrating OLD Gitorious to new 2.4.9

2013-04-08 Thread Chris Holden 
Hello All,

We are currently on Gitorious 2.1.0 and would like to migrate to 2.4.9 (or 
whatever is latest when we get there).

The plan I have is below but I had some quesitons for specific steps if you 
guys have any insight:

1. Install 2.4.9 on a new server as a clean install
2. Backup existing 2.1.0 (How?)
3. Restore on new 2.4.9 server

Is this possible?  I haven't found clear instructions on how to backup a 
2.1.0 instance and not even sure I can go all the way to 2.4.9.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks
-Chris Holden
