Moving ocracoke vagrant box to another server - Best practices? #31

Open luminousmg opened 4 years ago

luminousmg commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I recently needed to move my ocracoke vagrant box to another server. (Using Ubuntu, command line, no gui) I tried various methods, including vagrant repackage, but was unable to get it to work on the new machine. I also copied the vbox, vmdk's, and ocracoke project folder as well and ran vagrant up from there but it just provisioned an entirely new instance. Since my instance was pretty small, only about 100 resources or so, I decided to just create a new one from scratch and reindex/ocr.

Do you happen to have any tips or best practices for migrating this particular project to another server using command-line tools? My fear is that I'll need to migrate again someday when my project is larger and I'll run into similar challenges.

Thanks again for making this project open source! It has been a fantastic resource!

Best Regards
