GoCd server migration

[Nitesh Kumar]

Hi Team,

We have our go cd server on colt box with 17.1 version 

We are now planning to migrate our good server to aws ec2 instance.

Request you to please suggest the best practice /approach or way to do this. So that we won't loose any previous artifacts.

We have around 20 agent box and they are already in aws ec2 box , so it is just server which will need to be migrated.

Thanks&Regards

Hi Nitesh,

Have you read the documentation on backing up GoCD server?

If 17.1 is the version of your GoCD server rather than your colt box, then the documentation for your version can be found here (and you should really think about upgrading).

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the reference,  we will certainly go through this.

Just couple of more points:

Should we first upgrade gocd version to its latest stable on our colt box (legacy vm) and then back up and then migrate to new ec2 instance?
Regards,Nitesh

Its probably hard to tell as depends on your environment.

There are some bigger changes in old versions such as removal of direct HTTPS support which will require support in your environment (reverse proxies or app load balancers) so you'd at least want to assess whether it's easy to provide that support in your current environment compared to AWS EC2. So assess/plan the changes needed for both, and then decide on sequence before implementing.
