Community migration when moving to a new workstation #1057

Open JyothsnaTharigopula opened 7 years ago

Moving to a new workstation would mean one has to abandon their community. There is no automatic way to move from one machine to another and retain the entire community. @dogi suggested that a temporary solution for users/developers planning to move would involve migrating the entire database. We should probably mention this in the documentation.

Please feel free to edit the issue to make it more specific.

Go ahead and make a PR for this as I think there were a couple of people who had an issue with this and it would be helpful if it is mentioned in the documentation as to how to go about with migration to another system.

If you want to make a guide to migrating ones database, that would work.

Hmm - I kinda suggested the opposite :P

I said that migration is theoretically possible but not advised, cause it will take lots of time and lots of couchdb knowledge

That is why my suggestion was like to leave old installation as it is and start a new one from scratch ...

... make sure that by doing that NAME and CODE of the new community are different then the old one
