Migrating from Windows / SQL Server to Docker / Postgres
-
Hello, I'm trying to migrate from a Windows installation which uses MSSQL to your (linux) docker image using postgres.
I've managed to copy the feed folders over to the new system but I can't find a way to re-index them...
It looks like that ability was removed in the past: https://inedo.com/support/questions/8111
Obviously I cannot simply backup and restore the database. Is there a way forward here?
Cheers
Product: BuildMaster
Version: 6.1.0

Also, this is ProGet rather than BuildMaster. From 4.7.3 on Windows to 5.1.17 on Docker.
I guess if the functionality was removed in 4.8 I could use the 4.7.13 image for the migration and then upgrade, although that is a bit of a pain.

You can try setting a drop path for each feed to a temporary directory, then copy the packages into that directory.
FYI I believe they need to be in that directory directly and not in a subdirectory.
You can trigger the drop path monitor manually from Admin > Manage Service if it doesn't run right after copying.

Thanks for the suggestion, it's handy to know that's possible (with a bit of scripting to move packages into the top level directory).
It also seems to work pretty well running the Feed Cleanup under 4.7.14 and then upgrading.
