Convert from SolusVM to Feathur

This guide will describe the general process for converting existing VPS from SolusVM to Feathur. This process does require a decent amount of technical knowledge and may not work 100%. If you need help we are available on IRC. If you'd like us to convert servers for you we can do it for $25 per server, simply submit a ticket on http://feathur.com

Before starting this converter we recommend you:

• Perform a yum update or a apt-get update dependent on your system.
• Check to make sure that screen, wget and rsync are installed on your system.

Quick Notes

• Your servers must be running on CentOS 6 or Ubuntu 10.04+ to be converted to Feathur.
• This isn't exactly a "friendly" converter. It may break, it may do weird things, etc...

Conversions

1. Login to the server you intend to convert (you must convert one server at a time). Issue these commands:

mkdir .ssh
cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen (hit enter 3 - 5 times, once for each question)
cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
cat id_rsa (you'll want to copy this key)

2. Take the key you got in step #1 from this guide and use it to add a new server to Feathur.

3. Login to your existing installation of SolusVM. Go to Tools => Database => Download.

4. On your computer extract the provided tar.gz and place the only file in it somewhere on your computer (you'll need it in the next step).

5. Login to Feathur (again) and click on PHPMyAdmin. On the new window that loads create a database named solusvm. Open the database, click import, select the file from step #3 in this guide and press upload.

6. Login to your Feathur master server via SSH.

7. Copy /var/feathur/Scripts/solusvm-to-feathur.php to /var/feathur/feathur/

cp /var/feathur/Scripts/solusvm-to-feathur.php /var/feathur/feathur/

7. Edit /var/feathur/feathur/solusvm-to-feathur.php with your favorite editor and update the provided settings:

// Settings
// Administrative login information (EG YOUR LOGIN)
$sEmail = "";
$sPassword = "";

// Default template id if OpenVZ. (Usually 1, but check database to be sure.)
$sDefaultTemplate = "";

// Converter Type allows for three types of conversions:
// 1 = Convert a single node to Feathur. (Will create an account for each user and add their VPS to it.) (YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA USE 1)
// 2 = Convert all users so that they have an account on Feathur, but move no VPS yet.
$sConverterType = "";

// If conversion type equals 1, update the variable bellow to specify which node to convert.
$sNodeId = "";

// Only change this if you want to convert just one VPS from the node above. (EG: testing, missed one, etc...)
$sSingleVPS = "";

8. Issue the command php solusvm-to-feathur.php. Read the output for any feedback on the migration.
9. Repeat steps #1, #2, #7 and #8 for each server you want to convert.
