A script to migrate from PostfixAdmin to Modoboa. It has been tested against versions 2.3.3 and upper.
Note
This script is only suitable for a new Modoboa installation.
Install this extension system-wide or inside a virtual environment by running the following command:
$ pip install modoboa-pfxadmin-migrate
Edit the settings.py
file of your modoboa instance and add modoboa_pfxadmin_migrate
inside the MODOBOA_APPS
variable like this:
MODOBOA_APPS = (
# End of list
'modoboa_pfxadmin_migrate',
)
Then, add a new database connection named pfxadmin
into the DATABASES
variable corresponding to your PostfixAdmin setup:
DATABASES = {
"default" : {
# default connection definition
},
"pfxadmin" : {
"ENGINE" : "<engine>",
"NAME" : "<database name>",
"USER" : "<database user>",
"PASSWORD" : "<user password>",
}
}
This connection should correspond to the one defined in PostfixAdmin's configuration file.
You are now ready to start the migration so run the following commands:
$ cd <modoboa_instance_dir>
$ python manage.py migrate_from_postfixadmin -s <password scheme>
<password scheme>
must be replaced by the scheme used within postfixadmin (crypt
most of the time).
Depending on how many domains/mailboxes your existing setup contains, the migration can be long. Just wait for the script's ending.
The procedure is over, edit the settings.py
file and:
- remove the
pfxadmin
database connection from theDATABASES
variable - remove
'modoboa_pfxadmin_migrate'
from theMODOBOA_APPS
variable
You should be able to connect to Modoboa using the same credentials you were using to connect to PostfixAdmin.
