To ease the migration process, we have included a script to migrate the database. Before undertaking the migration, it is highly recommended that you create a snapshot/backup of your existing Faddom installation.
Upgrade the existing installation of Faddom to the latest version of Faddom by following Upgrading the Faddom Server
Import another instance of the Faddom OVA
Connect via SSH to the existing Faddom instance with the username faddom and the password you set during import. This should be the one you wish to use as the UI in the case of a split installation
Run
sudo /etc/illuminit/migrateDatabase.sh
Follow the instructions on screen with the following parameters -
Choose remoteserver as you are migrating the database to a new server
Enter the username faddom
Enter the IP address of the new instance for hosting the database
Enter the SSH password. If you have forgotten it, you can follow How To Reset The Root Password of the Faddom OVA
Choose remotehost, which is the server that will host the database
Enter 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 confirm your data has migrated succesfully
A successful migration will have an output that looks like the below
