Migrate an entire PDS server from one server to another

[Cocam123]

Hello !

I'd like to know how to migrate a PDS server from one server to another (as I have a more powerful server than the previous one).

By migrate, I'm not just talking about migrating the account, but sending the whole PDS to the new server (no account recreation, content must remain accessible after migration)

I would like to thank all those who will help me get this new server up and running

Assuming you used installer.sh without any additional configuration, you should just be able to copy the /pds folder, run the installer script on the new machine, and paste the /pds folder over the new one. Everything should just work if you restart the PDS service/container after that.

I have personally done this twice and my account is still working

hiya! Yup that's what I did but before approving this method, I wait and see how the new server reacts to it
