- Backup your hidden
.env
file containing the decryption APP_KEY from/var/www/pterodactyl
-
Export the database, in this case ours is named panel
mysqldump -u root -p --opt panel > /var/www/pterodactyl/panel.sql
The .sql file would be saved in the
/var/www/pterodactyl/
folder.
- Follow the panel installation documentation to install the panel on your new server.
-
Transfer the
panel.sql
file to your new server and import the database. Make sure you're in the folder containing your .sql dump when performing the commands.mysql -u root -p panel < panel.sql
-
After this, transfer your old
.env
file to the/var/www/pterodactyl
location to complete the panel migration.
- Follow the Wings installation documentation to install Wings on your new machine.
- Once new Wings are configured, migrate all your volumes from your old machine to the new one. By default, the path would be
/var/lib/pterodactyl/volumes/
. Check your Wingsconfig.yml
for your configured data path.
After the migration of volumes is done, you must update all the allocations since your IP most likely has changed.
Type hostname -I | awk '{print $1}'
on your Wings machine to retrieve the IP. After that, login to your Panel machine to modify the database.
In the example below, we assume that the database name is panel
. Replace newiphere
with the IP returned from the hostname command above while oldiphere
with the IP of your old allocation.
mysql -u root -p
UPDATE panel.allocations SET ip = 'newiphere' WHERE ip = 'oldiphere';
exit
