# Migrating Your Old Koding VM

Koding’s new VM infrastructure is vastly different from the old one so we
did not want to take the risk of migrating your old VM data for you
because we could potentially end up causing more trouble. Each VM is
unique and you know it best so we wanted you to migrate the data
yourself, when you wanted to do it. To access your old VMs, you can
always log into https://old.koding.com.

That being said, we still wanted to help as much as we can so we have
written a migration script that will assist you with the data migration.
This script will copy the home directory and any updated/changed file
across the VM file tree of your old VM to the /home/<username>/Backup
folder of your new VM.

Please note, this script will simply copy files into the
/home/<username>/Backup folder. It will not install software/scripts/init
files anywhere on your new VM or start servers/services that are running
on your old VM. This is to ensure that we don’t accidentally overwrite
files that you may need. You will need to re-configure your servers and
re-initialize them on the new VM.

Steps to follow:
## Step 1
Log into your new Koding account. At this point you will have by default
one new VM. This is the VM into which we will bring data from your
existing VMs on old Koding.

## Step 2
After the VM has successfully started, you’ll see the IDE and Terminal.

## Step 3
In the Terminal view type the following command.
`./migrate.sh`

This command will start the migration process and will guide you on how
to migrate your data from the VM that you have on old Koding. You need
run the above command for every VM that you want to migrate to new
Koding.

And that’s it! Hopefully you migrated your old files to the brand new
Koding interface. If you run into any kind of issues please let us know
at [email protected] and we will gladly help.

If you need to log into your old VMs, head on over to
https://old.koding.com. That server will remain active for another 30
days.
