PR-1186 Server Migration

[iammattmartin]

It is possible and we've done it twice. Running your own server requires at least some already gained knowledge on how to do this. There is nothing special about the process and it is very simple to do.

@iammattmartin Yes, I have my own server but my question is if it is possible to migrate, for example from Contabo to EC2 Server in AWS for an application that is already in production, since the database would be migrated to AWS but the application I also want to migrate to AWS There where I have doubts and if you have done it, what are the steps if it is possible to know? I currently use Ubuntu 24.04

1. Bring the application down.
2. Migrate the database to AWS
3. Set up a new installation on AWS. Once the installation is complete, use your original installation's .env file.
4. Restart your chatwoot servers on AWS.

I think you should try it out on a test instance to familiarize yourself with the process. As Matt shared, it is pretty straightforward. Please make sure your new server can access all the resources your original installation has access to.
