After a lot of help from @davidep I got my NS7 node to connect to the new NS8 cluster.
It looks like putting a “|” in the password really messed up the configuration for migration. However, resetting the NS7 config isn’t enough to fix it; the incorrect connection attempt from NS7 also left my NS8 node in a non-connectable state.
Here’s what I did that worked:
- NS7 - Uninstalled Migration tool
- NS7 - Ran the config clean commands mentioned by Davide:
config delete ns8
config delete wg-quick@wg0
config delete agent
- NS7 - Re-installed Migration Tool
- NS8 - Rebuilt server & re-install NS8
- NS7 - Connected to NS8 using IP address as FQDN
When trying to connect to NS8 using a domain address the connection failed, even though my NS7 server is correctly resolving the IP address - maybe wireguard isn’t?
Hope this helps someone else!
