Guidance Needed: Transferring Appwrite Instance to a New Server
Hello!
I have an Appwrite instance running on my current server, and I've set up a new Ubuntu Linux server where I want to transfer the Appwrite instance. I see there are two options:
- Use the experimental migration feature.
- Create a backup of the current instance and manually transfer it to the new server.
I’m inclined towards the backup-and-restore approach but need clarification on the following:
- Is the manual backup/restore method stable and recommended for production environments?
- Are there any caveats or best practices I should follow during this process?
Here’s my plan for the backup/restore process:
- Create a backup using the Appwrite CLI.
- Transfer the backup file to the new server.
- Install Appwrite on the new server and restore the backup.
If anyone has experience with this process or can suggest improvements, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance! 😊
TL;DR
Developers want to transfer Appwrite instance to a new server. They're seeking guidance on whether to use the experimental migration feature or go with the manual backup/restore method. They prefer the backup-and-restore approach. They need to know if this method is stable for production and if there are any best practices to follow. Their plan involves using the Appwrite CLI for backup, transferring the file to the new server, and restoring it. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
