Migration via a cloudbox backup. #48

Closed maximuskowalski closed 2 years ago

maximuskowalski commented 2 years ago

Explore the possibility of a specific role or flag to indicate a Cloudbox backup is being used and avoid bringing in stale settings.

Ideas could be as simple as setting a shortcut on the restore drive, or dragging the wanted tarred app files into the saltbox default.

I imagine this being required only for those that are quite new to X box or do not understand the backup restore process.

I would consider priority low as it would be a one shot use.

Similarly might be to consider the PG restorers if structure is close enough and I think it is.

Parse log_path in the backed up ansible.cfg to establish which flavor is being run.

A migration path would be nice, to easy switching to Saltbox.

I don't see the point as there is no difference if you're restoring from Cloudbox or Saltbox currently. Ultimately all this boils down to changing a path if you want to have new backups go to a different folder than the Cloudbox one.

Only the restore service brings over the config files so I am not really following what it is you ultimately want here. Please be specific and try not to ask for vague things.

Closing this as I believe this is solved by our docs at this point.
