> As an Aegir user > > In order to migrate an Aegir3 site to Aegir5 > > Prepare a Drupal site archive from Aegir3 * As a *Drupal site-builder* with an **existing site on Aegir3, I need to move the site** to Aegir5: * Create a *Project* to represent my Drupal site (point to a git repo) * Make a backup on Aegir3 (we /could/ do this from Aegir5) * Minimum: we need a doc to describe this step * Import a backup of my Aegir3 site * Deploy a new copy of the site into my Aegir5 infrastructure In theory, we could "adopt" an existing Aegir3 "minion" server into Aegir5 "as-is": - need ssh access (ansible) to the remote server - read metadata about the platforms, sites, etc from the aegir3 - instantiate entities to represent those on aegir5 - something like a "verify" task(s) to ensure platforms/sites are functioning - somehow "lock" the site access on the original aegir3 host However: - we don't think this is worthwhile as it'd take too long and only be useful short-term - instead, we think bootstrapping Aegir and then enabling it to "ingest" Aegir-friendly archives (from whatever source)
