Migrating to a different server

Added by Brian BB 10 months ago

Hello, I am wondering if I am able to migrate the data (whatever projects have been entered in one site) to a new Redmine site. Both old and new are configured to use LDAP authentication to Active Directory, so I would hope that recreating user accounts in the DB would be the same result had they just logged in in the first place...

I had seen in another post with a similar question, it was mentioned they might have had to update the database structure? But it may have been an older version of Redmine too. Old site is also running in Kunernetes... new site is its own VM (for now).

Thoughts?

Old Site:

Environment:
  Redmine version                4.2.1.stable

  Environment                    production
  Database adapter               Mysql2
