We have a current 1.7 CMS server running Windows. We will be migrating it to a 1.8 Ubuntu Linux setup and I want to make sure that I do this properly. I’ve never dealt with Xibo before, so I would appreciate a brief outline of what I need to do.
I tried using the web tool to dump the database, but only got an empty file. When I used mysqldump myself, I got the correct size of data from the databases.
Any help would be appreciated as to how to proceed from here.
Will you be running docker on the new linux setup?
As that would change the things you need to do before Xibo upgrade, in any case, various upgrading scenarios are covered here - http://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/upgrade.html
Please do have a look at requirements for the installation linked there as well (ie either docker or the following)
If you do choose the manual/custom installation, then after successful upgrade, you will also want to make changes to your environment (DocumentRoot and URL rewriting) and install/enable/configure zeromMQ/XMR.
Both of those are linked in the manual/custom CMS installation page.
Yes, we are using Docker.
In this case you will want to follow http://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/install_docker_linux.html up to the point when you’d run docker-compose up -d , but you will not run it, instead you will go here and make some changes -

and then run the command.
