Migrate from VPS to a Dedicated

[spectre (Spectre Zone)]

Hey guys,

Is there a tool or some means to migrate current running Discourse on vps server to another slightly larger dedicated one??

Cheers

Move your Discourse Instance to a Different Server

In this guide we’ll move an existing Discourse instance on Linode (source) to a new Discourse instance on Digital Ocean (destination), but of course these steps will work on any other cloud providers that support Docker. If you are using the same domain name and moving servers, you should set the TTL (time to live) on your DNS entry to a very low value in advance of the change. If you are using different domain names, this won’t matter. Log In and Update Only admins can perform backu…

Thanks Richard,

I’ll look into it as soon as got spare time

Before I settle, I’d like to know if it is possible to run another 1 or 2 Discourses in my shinny new server??

I could redo the one I have hosted on my VPS from scratch if this was the easy way you’ve mentioned above, I guess

Thanks again for the awesomeness you guys have

Multisite configuration with Docker

While multisite is supported in the Discourse application, this is an advanced sysadmin setup. If you don’t know what you’re doing, do not set up multisite. The Discourse team is unable to provide multisite configuration support. If you wish to host multiple domains on a singled Docker setup, you’ll need a multisite configuration. Here are the basic building blocks for one. Understand hooks Multisite is a fairly advanced topic. Before attempting a multisite build, spend some time…

Thanks Richard for your prompt reply.

OK, ma-man, can I host 2 Discourses to be persist on my server with 2 different domains and 2 whole separate communities but they’re happen to be hosted on one 500GB server?? I mean would this conflict with NGINX, SSLs and you name it…?

PS. There is plenty of room to host 2 dockers and other necessary plugin and etc requirement. I’m only wondering before getting to it and wasting time and making topics for you admins and SysOPs to tell us whether it is or not

@spectre

If you go for a multisite setup you will only have a single docker container running.

Awesome

I’m only worried if I need to adjust NGINX and/ or other Discourse running on programs!

There has to be some adjustments and if someone can point me to the related subject on these, I’d really appreciated it.

I’m still new to discourse especially and it bumped me when installing it but won the fight and got it running and since then I’m falling in love with the massive work put in by the founder(s), admin(s), sysop(s) and other contributors to make it as good as it can be

From better to best

EDIT :: a few hours of head-wrecking found my answer, I think

Cheerio
