Faddom can run on two servers in situations where resources are limited. This means that one runs the Tomcat (web UI) and one runs PostgreSQL (database). To ease this process, Faddom has a script that makes this process simple.
Prerequisites
Communication between the two OVAs on ports 22 and 5432
At least 50% disk space free on both disks. You can check the space by connecting via SSH and running
df -h.If you need to increase the disk space you can follow our guide How to increase the size of the database disk on the Faddom virtual appliance?
Procedure
Connect via SSH to the UI server (the existing Faddom instance) and run
sudo /etc/illuminit/migrateDatabase.sh
Follow the instructions on screen with the following parameters -
Choose localserver
Enter the username which by default is faddom and password
Choose remotehost which is the server that will host the database
Enter the IP address of the new server and faddom and the IP address of the database server
Enter the password you set during the import process.
Let the migration run. Once done, connect to the UI and connect your datasources.
A successful migration will have an output that looks like the below
