Migrating from Windows / SQL Server to Docker / Postgres



  • Hello, I'm trying to migrate from a Windows installation which uses MSSQL to your (linux) docker image using postgres.

    I've managed to copy the feed folders over to the new system but I can't find a way to re-index them...

    It looks like that ability was removed in the past: https://inedo.com/support/questions/8111

    Obviously I cannot simply backup and restore the database. Is there a way forward here?

    Cheers

    Product: BuildMaster
    Version: 6.1.0



  • Also, this is ProGet rather than BuildMaster. From 4.7.3 on Windows to 5.1.17 on Docker.

    I guess if the functionality was removed in 4.8 I could use the 4.7.13 image for the migration and then upgrade, although that is a bit of a pain.



  • You can try setting a drop path for each feed to a temporary directory, then copy the packages into that directory.

    FYI I believe they need to be in that directory directly and not in a subdirectory.

    You can trigger the drop path monitor manually from Admin > Manage Service if it doesn't run right after copying.



  • Thanks for the suggestion, it's handy to know that's possible (with a bit of scripting to move packages into the top level directory).

    It also seems to work pretty well running the Feed Cleanup under 4.7.14 and then upgrading.
