Hi all,
I want to migrate my server from Syscp to Imscp.
I can use all tips and advice that are available on the topic, since this is going to be major task.
Situation:
- Harddisk is two drives in RAID 0.
- Partitioned as LVM, less than 50% are actually in volume groups.
- System can be backed up at any time using rsync.
- 100 users, 150 domains, 200 mysql databases, 400 mail addresses, ~30 gigs of user data
- I need a test phase for admins (team of two)
- I need a test phase for key users
So here's the plan; any advice on improvements (including "this is madness, try something else") are welcome:
- Set up a virtual machine. (I've been planning to switch distros anyway ;).)
- Make the VM connect to the internet (bridging or something)
- Install Imscp on the VM.
- Work out scripts to mangle Syscp settings to a form that Imscp understands
- Work out a way to test the domains on the VM (not sure how)
- Administrator testing
- End user testing
- Back up server
- Clean server
- Install new distro, Imscp, pull user data and configuration data from backup
- Run Imcp installation scripts
- Smoke test, let the users in
