Migrating from other software

PostfixAdmin
************
Modoboa provides a simple script to migrate an
existing `PostfixAdmin (version 2.3.3+)
<http://postfixadmin.sourceforge.net/>`_ database to a Modoboa one.
.. note::
This script is only suitable for a new installation.
First, you must follow the :ref:`installation` step to create a fresh
Modoboa database.
Once done, edit the :file:`settings.py` file. First, 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.
Then, uncomment the line containing
``'modoboa.tools.pfxadmin_migrate'`` inside the ``MODOBOA_APPS``
variable and save your changes.
You are now ready to start the migration so run the following commands::
$ cd <modoboa_site>
$ 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 :file:`settings.py` file and:
* remove the ``pfxadmin`` database connection from the ``DATABASES``
variable
* remove the ``'modoboa.tools.pfxadmin_migrate',`` from the
``MODOBOA_APPS`` variable
You should be able to connect to Modoboa using the same credentials
you were using to connect to PostfixAdmin.
