I am currently planning to build a new server and investigating migrating SOME config from another.
The scenario is: the current server is on internal LAN with a non gTLD name (.lan). It is running AD/Shares/NextCloud/OnlyOffice. I want to create a new ‘cloud’ based server in a VPN to service three separate locations (which the current one is doing now).
I want to achieve setting the new AD on a fully qualified gTLD and a new IP/Range - therefore assume a full rebuild.
Is it possible to import/migrate the current User and NextCloud configuration/permissions to the new one? Or any portion of that to any degree?
Thanks @davidep. I couldn’t find any specific documentation on that, yet it makes sense for IP change.
Several years ago, I did manage to edit the backup config files of an e-smith/sme server prior to restoring on another machine to achieve this ‘partial’ restore (users etc) but AD brings in a whole new level of complexity. Might just have to play with that in virtuals.
