Are there any guides to migrate an existing Wordpress site from a 3rd party host to my own yunohost server?
For years I’m relaying on 3rd party shared hosting platforms which suck ass to be honest.
So I now did some tests on running new sites via Yuno, and they run very very well on my overkilled VM . So now it is time to migrate my main site.
Normally I would grab the contents of the www folder of the old host together with an copy of the SQL DB, smash them into my new sever and done. However I found out that Yuno works different. So how and what should I do now?
Migrate an app not hosted on yunohost to a yunohost server could be difficult if you want to make your app recognized as a yunohost app (and by this way get advantage from yunohost app upgrade/backup/restore…).
If you just want to put your app on your yunohost without upgrade/backup/restore it’s more easy.
I explain here the first:
Check version of the app inside yunohost app packet and on your 3rd party host
Upgrade your 3rd party to the same version (or found a way to get the good version of the yunohost app…)
Check yunohost app and 3rd party use same db engine
Install the app on the yunohost
Dump the 3rd party app
Restore db and files and keep or merge configuration files
If you are able to do that: read the install script to be sure to have same thing install in the same way in your new setup
Okay for all seriousness (as far as I can be) though…
PHPmyadmin maybe has some issues with uploading the database backup since it is a 199 MB file.
So I tried to hop in with Heidi SQL but that she wasn’t able to get in… Any suggestions on that?
So there seriously nobody which got this experience, I Don’t believe it?! most of the people which start to host themselves is because the current host is getting to smal or is a stupid shared platform so noting much options to change and tweak. So hm, hm anybody’s
Thats not about it, cause I already changed that back. But look at the topic about de FTP error common error on full disks but yeah as I told you Size Does Matter
