Xibo CMS (Docker) - Migration

Get Help CMS Installation
1

### CMS Version: 2.3.16
### Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
### Installation: Docker
### Docker Version: 19.03.12

Hi community,

I need to migrate a CMS installation from an AWS instance to a local server. I’m having some problems since I have never done a fresh install of a Xibo server and have basic knowledge about Docker.

I’ve tried a few things like:

  • Copying the whole /opt/xibo directory and trying docker-compose up -d on the new server. It ran without errors, but I couldn’t access the CMS webserver.
  • Doing a fresh install of Xibo CMS and replacing the shared directory. The new installation worked until I replaced the shared directory.

One thing I noticed is that the old installation has an Apache2 service running on the host system, and I could only do a Xibo fresh install without Apache2 installed on the host.

I know my CMS version is very old, and I plan to upgrade it, but I want to do it after the migration, which I can perform in a testing environment.

I couldn’t find any information about this in any documentation or by looking through past topics here.

I thank you in advance for any help.

Hello @FranciscoAdeFaria

Welcome to the Xibo community forum.

Could you please post your new docker compose file content ?
