I'm about to get my hands on a Pioneer Raspberry Pi drive running Owncloud 9 on Ubuntu Snappy 16.04. I want to move my old owncloud instance to this new device, I just don't know how.
Currently I'm running Ubuntu Server 15.04 on an old PC. Having a few hundred GB of files in there. Now I want to move all of it to the new Raspberry Pi based Ubuntu Snappy system. All files and configuration.
I have no experience with Ubuntu Snappy - yet - but from what I've understood about the new packaging paradigm I might come into trouble about an otherwise trivial migration of data.
Do I still access to mysql so that I can import the old db, as well some kind of access to be able to migrate the old files? Snappy seem to have SSH, so rsync is there, but is there something that I need to think about otherwise about the file migration?
Cheers, Daniel
I'm afraid this won't be terribly easy, not really because of Snappy but because ownCloud doesn't help you at all (I think it should have a method of doing this), so you need to do it yourself. There are three things you'll have to deal with: the config, the data, and the database.
The config
While you can do this via
occ, I actually suggest you do it by hand so you don't overwrite some values upon which the snap is relying (e.g. the out-of-application apps folder, etc.). Theconfig.phpis located in/var/lib/snaps/owncloud.canonical/current/owncloud/config/. If you want to useoccanyway, note that the command on Snappy issudo owncloud.occ.The data
You were spot-on with this one-- rsync from original to new. The data directory is
/var/lib/snaps/owncloud.canonical/current/owncloud/data/.The database
Unfortunately, you're going to run into trouble here-- the snap itself doesn't expose a mysql client, though maybe it should, knowing this use-case. Feel free to log a bug on that.
Oh, the apps
If you have apps you want to transfer, put then in
/var/lib/snaps/owncloud.canonical/current/owncloud/apps/
