Migration CMS from 1.7.5 to latest version 2.3.6

Please help to give me solution.

Can we migrate xibo cms with data from 1.7.5 to latest 2.3.6?

You would need to upgrade your CMS from 1.7.5 to 1.8.13 and then upgrade to 2.3.6 as we do not support direct upgrades, as explained in this previous topic:

You can use the menu here to select the appropriate upgrade instructions for your installation method.

I want to install new version and move the data to the new server. Can we export Display from old server to import into new server?

No you can’t. We would strongly suggest that you go to 1.7.10 to 1.8.13 to 2.3.6 so that you are less likely to have issues as this is the most tested upgrade route.

Actually, I don’t know how to upgrade from 1.7.5 to 1.7.10. I don’t know how to upgrade from 1.7.10 to 1.8.13. I don’t know how to upgrade from 1.8.13 to 2.3.6.

I don’t know the way to upgrade.

Can you share me manual detail step to upgrade?

I have already given you the links to all of our documentation with regards to upgrading in a previous thread: https://xibo.org.uk/docs/setup/upgrading-the-cms

I already check it. But actually I do not really understand the way to do it.

As 1.7 CMS did not have a docker version available you would need to follow the instructions for the Manual / Custom option:https://xibo.org.uk/docs/setup/upgrade-manual-custom-install or you could Upgrade and switch to our recommended method Docker: https://xibo.org.uk/docs/setup/upgrade-and-switch-to-xibo-for-docker-install These instructions will guide you through the process step by step.

If you do not want to upgrade then you could export all your Layouts and Media that you want to keep, install a 2.3.6 CMS using Docker:https://xibo.org.uk/docs/setup/xibo-for-docker and then import your Media and Layouts into that or you could opt for a Cloud hosted option: https://xibo.org.uk/hosting

Thank you

Option 2 that we install a 2.3.5 CMS and export layout and media are ok. But I have concern about other configuration example:

  1. Schedule
  2. Template
  3. User
  4. Display
