Migration between servers, different versions

See original GitHub issue

Impacted versions

  • Modoboa: 1.13.1 & 1.15
  • installer used: Yes (Both)
  • Webserver: Nginx

Steps to reproduce

Current behavior

I have two servers with Modoboa installed. I need to migrate from an old one (v1.13.1) to a new one (v1.15). I would like to do a seamless migration without bother my clients with nothing more than change imap server address.

I was thinking on copy /srv/vmail/ folder, but then I realized the user auth problem. Also, I found modoboa-imap-migration tool, but I could not even install it on first shot.

Old one has 4-5 domains, with 3-5 identities. How can I do this? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you.

Expected behavior

@othaner Just use rsync to copy /srv/vmail to the new server, and dump/restore the database on the new server.

Yup, in the end I did something alike:

  • Export import csvs.
  • Rsync vmail folder

Thank you!
