I need to migrate an old Moodle to my new Cloudron Moodle--what are the DB details?

[msbt]

you can jump on a terminal and enter env | grep MYSQL, this will give you the database details.

Thanks but that doesn't give me anything in the cloudron terminal. Nothing happens

@jordanurbs the cloudron package uses postgres. So try env | grep POSTGRESQL

[msbt]

ah my bad, should have omitted the MY from MYSQL

You can find out what addons being used for a cloudron app by checking the repo

https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/moodle-app

and the CloudronManifest.json

Or when you open the logs you should have a button for Postgres or MySQL

Thanks, that gives me the details.

Now I've got a second issue though: the old Moodle only lets me choose between MariaDB or Improved MySQL. Any thoughts?

[fbartels]

@jordanurbs this is probably relevant to you https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Database_transfer

[martinkbs]

The query

env | grep POSTGRESQL

in the terminal returns the following values:

CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_URL=postgres://...
CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=
CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=
CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_USERNAME=
CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_HOST=postgresql
CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PORT=5432

But what is the value to be entered in the 'Server' field? The IP of the server? Socket IP? Domain?

Thanks for the help guys!

[girish]

@martinkbs I guess "servidor de la base de datos" means database server ? If so, that is just postgresql (i.e the value of CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_HOST). The hostname of the postgres server is posgresql (I know confusing ).

[martinkbs]

Thanks @girish. But I have a question. The source Moodle is on a different server than Cloudron's Moodle ... it's a server with a Plesk panel

In that case, how can the source installation identify which server to send the data to? Wouldn't it be necessary to indicate the IP of the destination server? Or the socket? If I only indicate postgresql, I don't think the data can be migrated from one server to another ... right?

[girish]

@martinkbs Ah, I missed it that it's trying to transfer the database. Indeed, postgresql is the internal name. There is no public endpoint. What you have to do is to export the postgresql dump from the old instance and import it into Cloudron by hand. Please see https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/import-postgresql/
