Preparation for installation

Perform the necessary preliminary steps as described in the Preparation for installation section.

Installing the databases

Install and configure PostgreSQL and ClickHouse as described in the Installing the database section.

Creating a backup folder with a backup copy of data

Back up all data as described in the Preliminary steps section.

Transferring prepared files

Copy the backup folder along with all its contents from the source server to the new one.

For data transfer, it is recommended to use the scp utility, which provides secure copying via SSH.

scp -r ~/backup user@remote-server:~

• user — username of the new server;
• remote-server — address of the new server.

After the transfer, switch to the backup folder in the home directory on the new server:

cd ~/backup

Creating a user in PostgreSQL

sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER core; ALTER USER core WITH PASSWORD 'core'; ALTER USER core WITH SUPERUSER;"

Restoring a database from a dump

Download database with version 1.3.0.

sudo -u postgres createdb core
sudo -u postgres psql -d core -f evi-backup.dump

Downloading and unpacking the migration archive

wget https://archive.eltex-co.ru/evi-raw/evi-1.4.0/db_migration-1.3.0-1.4.0.zip
unzip db_migration-1.3.0-1.4.0.zip
cd db_migration-1.3.0-1.4.0

Running the migration script

sudo bash migrate.sh <host> <user> <password> <psql_db_name_from> <psql_db_name_to> <psql_port> <ch_def_user_password> <ch_db_name>

• host — IP address of the host with PostgreSQL and ClickHouse;
• user — username for the database (will be created if necessary);
• password — user password;
• psql_db_name_from — name of the PostgreSQL database from which the migration is performing;
• psql_db_name_to — name of the PostgreSQL database to which the migration will be performed;
• psql_port — PostgreSQL port;
• ch_def_user_password — password for the ClickHouse user;
• ch_db_name — name of the ClickHouse database to which the migration will be performed.

sudo bash migrate.sh localhost core core core core 5432 core core

After successfully executing the migration script, the message Restoring DB done <3 will appear in the console.

Then proceed to the Installing and configuring EVI services after migration section.
