in reply to steve mookie kong • • •This is going to come in handy because I am migrating to another box. Worried about migrating from one server to another, esp importing my database.
I'm following this guide
docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/mi…
Afterwards, I want to setup basic monitoring. Your guide seems straight forward.
I already started some of the migration. Getting the repositories, system packages and prerequisites setup.

I’ve done the migration quite a few times and it’s not too bad.
But my migrations have always been of my smaller instances so the database and media migrations weren’t too bad. That’s where the downtime is incurred waiting for data to be transferred between servers.
The actual dump/restore of the database is rather straightforward.

Making a note to turn off relays for the next time I move things around. Great idea!
