NethServer Version: 7.9.2009 and 8

Hi
I have a question about migration of my mailserver from 7 to 8

Does everything migration to the new server, I mean
settings for
emailserver
antivirus
Fail2ban
Firewall
webserver
Roundcubemail
and even the mail I have in my inbox :smiley:

and other settings for SMTP and that?

Why I wonder is because when I read here under Applications

I can see nethserver-mail but not the others.

Webserver does not migrate; you need to migrate your data manually. Firewall isnā€™t part of NS8. Fail2Ban is replaced, kind of, by CrowdSec. Antivirus and Roundcube migrate along with email (which includes all the accounts, domains, and individual email messages).

One more question, when how do I know the migration is finnish. I did connect from my old NS7 to my new NS8 but after that I did not do anything. Did not see any button to push :smiley:

There should be buttons to push in the ā€œNS8 Migrationā€ app on your NS7 system.

Hi @cazz

Maybe start by reading the fine manualā€¦ :slight_smile:

https://docs.nethserver.org/projects/ns8/en/latest/migration.html

It will tell you to install the migration app on your NS7.

That will entail all the steps and options you have.

And: Mails are transfered very wellā€¦ :slight_smile:

Hi Andy and thanks for the replay
I have read it many times and thanks for the nice guide I did connect my old NS7 to NS8.

But when it was time to ā€œChoose an application and click on the Start migration button.ā€ then I did not find the button, that why I did ask where it was and if I miss it somewhere.

But it is ok, when I did understand what it can and canā€™t do it better for me to try to start a clean NS8 instead.

IMAPsync will be a good friend when it comes to moving mass mail!

For those clients not dependent (Due to licensing for Windows Servers) on AD retainment, I also sometimes choose to do a new oneā€¦

Good Luck as with any migration.
(No one needs or wants a power outage at 90% of the migration!)
