I had a Mattermost omnibus server running, moved my server from one location to another, wanted to start again, and loaded up a new instance via docker compose. Before I deleted my mattermost omnibus instance, I made a backup via mmomni backup -o.
How can I make the channels and messages from my previous server visible in my current one? A broad overview of the steps necessary to make this happen would help me greatly.
I do not need to ensure that user credentials are reinstated but if that is not a difficult task, that would also be great.
Hi @fffjjjggg! Great question! Restoring your Mattermost data from an Omnibus backup to a Docker setup can be done by following some essential steps. I recommend checking out Mattermost’s backup and recovery documentation. Let us know how it goes, and feel free to reach out if you have further questions!
Hi @fffjjjggg, this come a bit late but with the set deprication of mattermost omnibus, the dev team published official migration guides from omnibus to other deployment solutions (in the github repo readme):
I followed this and had some struggles so if you are still considering the migration and encouter problems, check out my issue and fix.
