Is there a way to quickly move from one VPS to another?

Question

linux

I found a more favorable tariff, with the same characteristics, but cheaper. Currently on the VPS are: nginx, gunicorn and django. Is there a way to quickly transfer this to another VPS or transfer everything manually?

Answer 1

rsync is like, handles?
First, of course, install the necessary packages so that the difference is minimal.

Answer 2

If both have the same hypervisor (KVM most likely);
1. Run both servers in live mode
2. On the new one, mount the disk of the old one using sshfs
3. Transfer all files with a simple cp (don't forget to save the attributes)
4. Correct the configs and reboot.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Depends on the capabilities of the VDS control panel, if there is a backup option, then just create an image and transfer it, and then change the network settings and so on ...
For tips, contact the LAN.

Answer 5

the fastest way is not to copy all the OS files,
but only the necessary software configs.
for example via scp or ftp.
Of course, the network config will have to be edited.
