Selks 6 > Selks 7 migration

On Selks 6, backup your configuration :

1. Use the manage.py script to open dbshell :

selks-user@computer:~$ sudo -s
root@computer:/home/selks-user# cd /usr/share/python/scirius/ && . bin/activate && python bin/manage.py
(scirius) root@computer:/usr/share/python/scirius# cd bin/
(scirius) root@computer:/usr/share/python/scirius/bin# python3 manage.py dbshell

2. Backup configuration and export to /tmp for example :

sqlite> .backup /tmp/backup_selks6

3. To verify integrity after import on Selks 7 :

(scirius) root@computer:/usr/share/python/scirius/bin# sha256sum /tmp/backup_selks6

On Selks 7 :

4. Import backup_selks6 file on Selks 7 with scp or sftp for example.

5. Install sqlite3 package on Scirius container :

selks-user@selks:~$ sudo docker exec -it scirius apt update ; sudo docker exec -it scirius apt full-upgrade -y ; sudo docker exec -it scirius apt install sqlite3 -y

6. In this example, backup_selks6 is on selks-user home directory. Copy backup_selks6 on /tmp directory of Scirius container :

selks-user@selks:~$ sudo docker cp backup_selks6 scirius:/tmp

7. To verify integrity :

selks-user@selks:~$ sudo docker exec -it scirius sha256sum /tmp/backup_selks6

8. Open dbshell with manage.py script :

selks-user@selks:~$ sudo docker exec -it scirius python /opt/scirius/manage.py dbshell

9. Restore configuration from backup_selks6 :

sqlite> .restore /tmp/backup_selks6

10. Restart Scirius container :

selks-user@selks:~$ sudo docker restart scirius

11. Push configuration to Suricata :

Open web interface https://selks

Go to Administration (on top) > Suricata (on top) > Ruleset actions (on left).

Check Build and Push and click on Apply

Enjoy !

@woundride thank you man! A really appreciated your fast and full respose.
I want to ask you a few more questions:

• Can I use My SELKS 6 install and upgrade over it or I need clean SELKS 7 installation - something like Upgrade.sh in version 4 to 5?
• Where Can I download SELKS-7-nodesktop.iso? Here I see only Docker ISO are they the same or not?

😉

The best way I think is install a clean SELKS 7 and import your SELKS 6 configuration.
You can download ISO here : https://www.stamus-networks.com/selks#Download
Sha256 sum are available here : https://github.com/StamusNetworks/SELKS/wiki/Docker-ISO-setup

In SELKS 7, installation need Docker, also with ISO versions. All components are in containers. It's different but very stable and powerful.
