Similar to the clone feature... it would be great if sites could be migrated from one Ploi server to another, also including the database and all other settings.
Migrating is moving, so I guess you could look at it as cloning and then removing the original afterwards :P
Let me clarify :)
Since it's possible to clone the site and the database... there could be a feature, to migrate / clone (call it whatever you want :) with one click, which would:
- clone the site with the same settings (which are possible)
- clone the database (if it's attached to the site) with the same database username/password
- and optionally remove the original if the whole process is successful. (Credits to @Arko) :P
I need to move a bunch of WP sites from one server to another and it would be nice if I could do that with only one click of the button. And after changing DNS records only issue a new SSL cert.
Ah right, so, basically, we already have these features, their just not combined as you describe.
- You can clone a site to another server via the manage tab -> clone, this does not delete the original site, but you can do that
- You can clone a database, to another server, via the databases tab -> press the 3 dots button -> clone
You're saying it has to be in 1 action?
When you clone the database, users will not be cloned. You can create a new user for this cloned database.
It would be great if the new DB user would be created with the same username/password so that no additional configuration would be needed.
You could also just add a new checkbox under the "clone site" named "clone attached database" which would simplify the migration of the site with the database. But like I said, DB user should be the same.
I've also got a use case for this.
Say for example we're needing to move sites from a old server to a new server say for example the server is full and we need to off-load some customers to a new server. Having a migration tool so that we can move a customer system one for server to another with on-click and then we can manage the DNS ourself.
