# Migrating your packaged OpenProject installation to another environment
|
|
|
|
**Note:** this guide only applies if you've installed OpenProject using our DEB/RPM
|
|
packages.
|
|
|
|
Migrating your OpenProject packaged installation to another host or environment is trivial and may be combined with, e.g., minor or major package upgrades due to our migration system.
|
|
|
|
## Backing up
|
|
|
|
To move and migrate your database, please follow our [backup and restore documentation](https://www.openproject.org/operations/backup/backup-guide-packaged-installation/) for our packaged installation.
|
|
|
|
This guide should leave you with a set of archives that you should manually move to your new environment:
|
|
|
|
- **Database**: mysql-dump-<timestamp>.sql.gz
|
|
- **Attachments**: attachments-<timestamp>.tar.gz
|
|
- **Custom env configuration**: conf-<timestamp>.tar.gz
|
|
- **Repositories**: svn- and git-<timestamp>.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Each of these archives can be extracted with
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tar -vxfz <dump>.tar.gz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Migration
|
|
|
|
The following steps outline the migration process to the OpenProject package (possibly, a newer version).
|
|
|
|
## Install new package
|
|
|
|
Follow the first step (**Installation**) of our packaged installation guides at https://www.openproject.org/download-and-installation/.
|
|
|
|
After this step, you should have an installed version of `openproject`.
|
|
|
|
### Moving Configuration
|
|
|
|
On your old host, the configuration of the package resides in `/etc/openproject`.
|
|
|
|
This folder is split into two relevant files:
|
|
|
|
**The installer.dat file**
|
|
The `/etc/openproject/installer.dat` is the result of your input in the installation wizard (`openproject configure`). It contains all configuration options that the wizard generates, such as database URL, storage paths, hostname et cetera.
|
|
|
|
If most of your environment is the same (e..g, new server under the same domain), you will want to copy the entire configuration folder `/etc/openproject`. This will cause `openproject configure` to take all values from your previous installation.
|
|
|
|
You can simply look through the installer.dat and change those values you need.
|
|
|
|
**The conf.d folder**
|
|
|
|
Additional environment, either generated from the wizard or entered by you through `openproject conifg:set` is written to `/etc/openproject/conf.d/{server,database,other}`. Also look through those and check which contain relevant values for your new installation.
|
|
|
|
### Database
|
|
|
|
On your new host or cluster, ensure you have created a database user and database, ideally using the same names as the old environment (You may want to choose a different random password, however).
|
|
|
|
In the following, the values `<dbuser>`, `<dbhost>` and `<dbname>` variables have to be replaced with your database user and database above.
|
|
To read the values from the old installation, you can execute the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
openproject config:get DATABASE_URL
|
|
#=> e.g.: mysql2://dbusername:dbpassword@dbhost:dbport/dbname
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
First the dump has to be extracted (unzipped) and then restored. The command used should look very similar to this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
# Extract the mysql dump
|
|
zcat mysql-dump-20150408095521.sql.gz | mysql -u <dbuser> -h <dbhost> -p
|
|
<dbname>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Attachments
|
|
|
|
Your storage path can be shown on the old installation can be shown using the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
openproject config:get ATTACHMENTS_STORAGE_PATH
|
|
#=> e.g., /var/db/openproject/files
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simply extract your attachments dump into that folder, creating it beforehand if needed.
|
|
|
|
### Repositories
|
|
|
|
For repositories, the same approach applies as for the attachments:
|
|
|
|
Your SVN and Git storage paths can be shown on the old installation can be shown using the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Subversion
|
|
openproject config:get SVN_REPOSITORIES
|
|
#=> e.g., /var/db/openproject/svn
|
|
|
|
# Git
|
|
openproject config:get GIT_REPOSITORIES
|
|
#=> e.g., /var/db/openproject/git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simply extract your respective repository dumps into ech folder, creating it beforehand if needed. The dumps will only be created if you use that feature in your old installation.
|
|
|
|
## Running openproject configure
|
|
|
|
After you restored all data and updated your installer.dat, all you need to do is run through the configuration process of the packaged installation:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openproject configure
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will take all values from your previous installation. *It may ask you additional wizard questions* for new features that did not exist on the old installations, or the ones you removed/left empty in the `installer.dat` file.
|
|
|
|
This step will also perform database migrations, install and configure all necessary dependencies and start the server. |
