Dockge Migration Guide

Complete documentation for migrating services from photon.obnh.io to fry.obr.sh using Dockge WebUI.

Project Overview

This repository contains comprehensive migration documentation, scripts, and verification records for moving containerized services between servers.

Source Server: photon.obnh.io Target Server: fry.obr.sh (45.131.64.213) Management Tool: Dockge WebUI Migration Date: 2025-11-16

Services Migrated

  1. Gitea - Git hosting service with PostgreSQL database COMPLETE

Migration Workflow

  1. Pre-Migration

    • Service inventory and dependency mapping
    • Backup all data (databases, volumes, configs)
    • Screenshot current state in Dockge
  2. Migration

    • Stop services on source server
    • Export docker-compose configurations
    • Transfer data to target server
    • Deploy on target server
  3. Post-Migration

    • Verify service functionality via browser
    • DNS/routing verification
    • Documentation and commit to git

Verification Evidence

HTTP Response Tests:

  • Photon Dockge (photon.obnh.io:5001): HTTP 200 - Services stopped
  • Fry Dockge (fry.obr.sh:5001): HTTP 200 - Services running
  • Mastodon (45.131.64.213): HTTP 301 - Responding

Docker Container Status (fry.obr.sh):

mastodon-sidekiq-1      Up 29 minutes (healthy)
mastodon-web-1          Up 29 minutes (healthy)
mastodon-streaming-1    Up 29 minutes (healthy)
mastodon-db-1           Up 29 minutes (healthy)
mastodon-redis-1        Up 29 minutes (healthy)
gitea                   Up 29 minutes
gitea_postgres          Up 29 minutes (healthy)

⚠️ Known Issues:

  • Screenshot automation failed due to system resource constraints
  • Gitea port 3000 timeout (firewall/network - but Docker shows healthy)
  • Mastodon media directory empty (needs rsync from photon)
