Minemeld - best way to backup and move config to new image

rschunk — Fri, 21 Oct 2016 17:06:44 GMT

I am tring to move the /opt/minemeld/local/config directory to a new image of Minemeld I have running in AWS. I can scp the config directory out of my exisintg Minemeld using winscp but when I try to copy it into my new Mindmeld image it always aborts.

It appears to be a permission issue but not sure how to around this. I am logged in via winscp and ssh as the ubuntu user.

Can someone help with this?

Thank you.

Rich

Hi @rschunk,

to backup the config you should:

open an ssh shell on the instance

run the following commands

$ sudo service minemeld stop
$ tar -cvzf backup.tar.gz /opt/minemeld/local/config/ /opt/minemeld/local/prototypes/

use scp/sftp to transfer backup.tar.gz to some safe location

to restore:

use scp/sftp to transfer backup.tar.gz to the instance
open an ssh shell on the instance

run the following commands

$ sudo minemeld stop
$ sudo -g minemeld -u minemeld tar -C / -xvzf backup.tar.gz
$ sudo minemeld start
