Change directory to /usr/vcs/docker/migration-scripts

cd /usr/vcs/docker/migration-scripts

This directory contains scripts for migrating an SQLite database to a Postgres database as well as setting up a new database with the server ID.

Prerequisites

• Postgres installed and running Postgres + docker compose setup
• Liquibase installed (Automated with Postgres + docker compose setup)
• Execution of Liquibase scripts (Automated with Postgres + docker compose setup)
• SQLite database file(s) to be migrated(for existing server upgrades only)
• sqlite3 installed (for existing server upgrades only)

sudo zypper refresh

sudo zypper install sqlite3

Setup

Make the scripts are executable, if not:

chmod +x database_migration.sh
chmod +x disable_constraints.sh
chmod +x create_db_dump.sh
chmod +x transform_db_dump.sh
chmod +x consolidate.sh
chmod +x update_server_id.sh

Existing Server Upgrade Only

For single server grab the vcs.db file, and rename it serverID.db(use the actual server id of the server, in case of vcs.db-wal and vcs.db-shm rename those with the server id as well). Example:

cp /usr/vcs/database/vcs.db './Test VM.db'

cp /usr/vcs/database/vcs.db-shm './Test VM.db-shm'

cp /usr/vcs/database/vcs.db-wal './Test VM.db-wal'                     

For multi server do the same with their own server id. Move the database file(s) to the scripts directory(/usr/vcs/docker/migration-scripts)

Running the Migration

Required info:

• server_id - server id for the server
• psql_path - path to Postgres psql

Example: docker exec -i artsentry-services-postgres-1 psql artsentry-services-postgres-1 - name of the Docker container which can be found by running docker ps ()

• postgres_user

APP_USER="vcs" from docker compose environment(.env) of Postgres + docker compose setup

• database_name

DB_NAME="postgres" from docker compose environment(.env) of Postgres + docker compose setup

• docker_command - psql_path -U postgres_user -d database_name Example: `docker exec -i artsentry-services-postgres-1 psql -U vcs -d postgres

New Server Install

Run the update_server_id.sh script with the server_id and the docker_command parameter:

Example of running the script with Docker instance of Postgres(replace server_id, name of docker container, user, and database with the correct information):

./update_server_id.sh 'server_id' docker exec -i artsentry-services-postgres-1 psql -U vcs -d postgres > migration.log

Existing Server Upgrade

To run the migration process, execute the database_migration.sh script with docker_command parameter:

Example of running the script with Docker instance of Postgres(replace server_id, name of docker container, user, and database with the correct information):

./database_migration.sh docker exec -i artsentry-services-postgres-1 psql -U vcs -d postgres > migration.log

This step takes some time to finish. If anything fails, failure will be shown in the console, otherwise messages are piped into migration.log

Start VCS Server

After completing the required steps in Postgres + docker compose setup and executing the script(s) above, start the VCS Server

systemctl start vcs

Scripts Description(FYI)

• database_migration.sh: Main script that orchestrates the migration process
• disable_constraints.sh: Disables constraints in the PostgreSQL database to prevent conflicts during data import
• create_db_dump.sh: Creates a dump of the SQLite database that can be imported into the PostgreSQL database
• transform_db_dump.sh: Transforms the SQLite dump to be compatible with Postgres
• consolidate.sh: Consolidates the transformed dump into the PostgreSQL database
• update_server_id.sh: Updates the server ID in the Postgres database after the migration or at new setup
