Migrate Axigen mail server from VM to Docker

Support Install / Uninstall
1

Hello,

I would like to migrate Axigen from QNAP virtual environment to QNAP Docker. Both VM and Docker Axigen servers are running v10.6.33. I tried I copy over all files under “domain” folder, but after doing it, Docker server started periodically rebooting.

Would you be so kind to help is there files which don’t overwrite?

Or maybe is there any suggestion, best practice for this kind of migration?

Kind regards,

Peter

Hello @pomazip

You may follow the below steps to migrate your Axigen install from VM to docker container :

  1. Stop the Axigen service on the VM

2. Copy the entire Axigen Working Directory (/var/opt/axigen) to the folder that will be mounted as persistent storage for the Docker container (/axigen/var)

3. Create a backup of the Axigen configuration file run/axigen.cfg

4. Edit run/axigen.cfg and replace all occurrences of /var/opt/axigen/ with /axigen/var/

5. Start the Axigen Docker container

Please test the procedure on a test environment before migrating the production deployment.

Regards,
Florin
