Migrate FileCloud from One OS to Another OS

Use the following instructions to migrate from one operating system to another.

Step 1: Install the latest FileCloud Server on the new Server. Do not start any services after successful installation, only the database must be running.

Step 2: Stop Apache, cron and message queue (fcorchestrator) service in the source system to prevent access and changes by users.

Step 3: Create a database dump on the source system.

mongodump --out /tmp/mongodump

cd C:\xampp\mongodb\bin 

mongodump --out C:\mongodump

Step 4: Copy the database dump to the new system and do a restore.

mongorestore --noIndexRestore --drop /tmp/mongodump

cd C:\xampp\mongodb\bin 

mongorestore --noIndexRestore --drop C:\mongodump

Step 5: Copy the Managed Storage files to the new server

Set permissions

chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/fileclouddata/ # <- change to your managed storage location

Step 6: Copy FileCloud configuration files to the new server.
Copy all files in folder WWWROOT/htdocs/config to the new server.

Step 7: Start all services on the new system.

Step 8: Log in to the Admin UI and update the managed storage path.
