Since RC doesn’t document how to change from one server to another on the same account. This documents how to move, keeping webapps and sql.
-
Stop MySQL
-
Back up the following directories (I used Duplicacy to back up from one server to the other)
-
/RunCloud
-
/var/lib/mysql
-
/home/runcloud
-
/etc/nginx-rc
-
-
Set up Runcloud on the new server by attaching as an additional server.
-
Delete the new server you just set up from the web interface once all the services have been installed.
-
Restore all above folders on the new server
-
Go into RC on the server you want to move, click settings >> change IP
-
Enter in the IP of the new server
-
Run the script to change the IP
VOILA! Runcloud should now recognize the new server
Don’t forget to find/replace the new IP in the database too!
Notes:
-
Didn’t note the MySQL Root Pass. Had to change via https://www.a2hosting.com/kb/developer-corner/mysql/reset-mysql-root-password
-
Had trouble starting MySQL and had to delete the files starting with ib, though this might have been the fact I backed up while MySQL was running.
