Can it be migrated from CPanel?

ClaudioSpcSpa · July 24, 2020, 8:51pm

Hello
A couple of hours ago I installed Hestia 1.2.0, I already created Users, Web, Mail Accounts and Database, without any problem.

But I have a question, Can you migrate CPanel accounts?
Or how can I do it?

Hello Claudio,

No currently we do not supply a released version.

How ever you could try to use the following script

github.com

hestiacp/hestiacp/blob/c87c0d4af81f9c53f30fb75a746053f9bc1c47c8/bin/v-restore-user-cpanel

#!/bin/bash

# v-restore-user-cpanel
# Restores an exported backup from cPanel

# Based on sk-import-cpanel-backup-to-hestiacp
# Credits: Maks Usmanov (skamasle) and contributors:
# Thanks to https://github.com/Skamasle/sk-import-cpanel-backup-to-hestiacp/graphs/contributors

if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
    echo "usage: bash $0 cpanel-backup.tar.gz"
    echo "or"
    echo "usage: bash $0 cpanel-backup.tar.gz MX"
    exit 1
fi
if [[ $PATH != *"/usr/local/hestia/bin"* ]]; then
    HESTIA=/usr/local/hestia
    export HESTIA
    
    PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/hestia/bin

This file has been truncated. show original

Download it and put it in /usr/local/hestia/bin/ and give it execution rights and then run it with the back up of the user.

If it doesn’t work the only way to do it manually. Imap can be easy transferd via https://imapsync.lamiral.info or copien and pasting the files in the correct folder.

An “empty” backup with 1 or 2 demo domains / mysql database + email account is really appreciated as we are planning creating import scripts for it

Thanks, apparently it works.

I am reviewing, The web is, DNS is, Mail is, 4 accounts, databases do not have the origin.

if I enter domainname.com:8083 Could not connect
http://domainname.com:8083/roundcube Could not connect

What should I do?

eris · July 25, 2020, 3:12pm

We use by default:

https://domain:8083 for control panel. How ever Google Chrome does not accept the self geneated SSL Certificate

See http://docs.hestiacp.com/admin_docs/ssl_certificates.html

For Roudcube

Use webmail.domain.com

ClaudioSpcSpa · July 25, 2020, 3:25pm

Thanks, This turned out better than I expected, everything is working without problems, I can see the web, once the new DNSs have been deployed, modify a file and see the emails, and everything is OK.

I had tried Virtualmin, Contos Web Panel, VestaCP and with everyone I found some obstacle to not follow, or SSL did not work, or I could not migrate accounts, and therefore I kept trying another Panel, and in this one in less than a day I have everything working and even with a migration.

So v-restore-user-cpanel works and works fine for me.

Thank you so much

Are u able to create a backup for with no user data so we can test for our self?

We can check if it is working fine and release it next version after code cleanup

ClaudioSpcSpa · July 25, 2020, 4:16pm

If you tell me how, I will

eris · July 25, 2020, 4:34pm

If you are able to create a new user

Add some random data and make a backup of the account

ClaudioSpcSpa · July 25, 2020, 5:47pm

I already made a backup in CPanel with a new account, how do I fill the file?

eris · July 25, 2020, 5:49pm

Send me a pm with a download link will download it and test it

ClaudioSpcSpa · July 25, 2020, 6:14pm

Como te mando un PM?

eris · July 25, 2020, 7:15pm

Probably you don’t have the minimum posts you can post the link here and I will download it (and remove it)

ClaudioSpcSpa · July 26, 2020, 4:10pm

@eris, Do you already have the backup file?

eris · July 26, 2020, 4:17pm

Yes

ClaudioSpcSpa · July 26, 2020, 4:43pm

You tell me how it turned out

falzo · July 26, 2020, 4:48pm

@ClaudioSpcSpa thanks for your feedback and help here, I am sure there will be quite some benefit from that for other users as well

ClaudioSpcSpa · July 26, 2020, 6:55pm

In email accounts, I create 2 accounts:
[email protected] and
[email protected]
Query: should that delete them?

ClaudioSpcSpa · July 28, 2020, 6:29pm

I am trying to migrate another site with cpanel and it gives me the following error:
v-restore-user-cpanel /home/gradocero.tar.gz
Checking provided file…
Error 3 not-gzip - no stantard cpanel backup provided of file not installed ( Try yu
m install file, or apt-get install file )

eris · July 28, 2020, 7:34pm

Don’t know about the cpanel restore function but by default only backups in /backup is supported

heart1010 · July 29, 2020, 2:24pm

Is such a migration script also possible coming from i-MSCP?
