Migrate Install

POST /browser/{id}/migrate

Migrate an externally-installed application from a remote location to this account and import it into Installatron.

Migration is a two-step operation: first the install's files and database will be copied from the remote location to the user's account and reconfigured to work from this new location, and secondly it will be imported into Installatron.

Note: this API was previously part of the import API. The old migration API will continue to work.

Parameters


API

/browser/{id}/migrate
API endpoint.

{id} is keyword ID of the application to migrate. For example,
wordpress
or
magento
.

Use the GET /browser API to retrieve a list of available applications or see Apps Table for a complete list of installer IDs.
POST
Method.

Required parameters

url
string
The destination URL, in the user's account, where the source application will be copied to.
source_url
string
The source application's URL.

For example,
http://remotewebsite.com/blog
.
source_path
string
The source application's account information.

Supported protocols:
  • ftp
  • ftps

Examples:
  • sftp://user:pass@website.com
  • sftp://user:pass@website.com/public_html

The
app://
protocol is a feature of Installatron that allows you to migrate a WordPress application by providing only the app's administrative username, and either the app's administrative password or, if you have the Installatron Migration Assistant WordPress plugin installed for on this app, its Connection ID. With this information alone, Installatron is able to migrate the application to the destination
url
.

Optional parameters

string
If a different IP address must be temporarily used to connect to the URL, use this argument to provide the correct IP.
(eg.
123.123.123.123

string
An optional SSH key file.

default is no SSH key
