export / import for users / rooms / settings

[devZer0]

i think updating bbb 2.5 to 2.6 or 2.7. is totally complicated and things would be much simpler, if we had some way to backup greenlight data like users, rooms and settings to a logical backup / export and be able to import that in a later version of greenlight.

could you please make greenlight upgrade more straightforward or provide export / import function?

i consider stop using bbb with greenlight because of upgrade hassle v2->v3 at the moment. it simply sucks

The migration of v2 -> v3 is essentially just

1. Run them side by side
2. Connect them with 2 env variables
3. Run 4 commands

Not sure why this is considered too complicated? What steps are you having trouble with?

We currently have the same issue: even that we were able to migrate, there were several issues. Seems that v3 is not really production-ready.

We've migrated multiple deployments with thousands of users each. If you're having an issue, please make a detailed post with the issues you're running into so that we can help guide you

@farhatahmad we also have the same issue:

we want to migration from v2->v3 with the following setup:

• Greenlight-v2 version: v2.14.8.4
• Greenlight-v3 version: v3.0.9.1
• SECRET_KEY_BASE of v2 and v3 and V3_SECRET_KEY_BASE are identical
• both running on different machines under different DNS names

Migration of roles, rooms and setting are working, but the migration of user only partial.

• user migrations have all necessary data
• the password_digest between v2 and v3 are different for Greenlight provided users (local users), the user login in the v3 Greenlight system fails
• if the password_digest in the v3 database is updated manually with the value of the v2 database, the login in the v3 Greenlight is successful

So it's currently an issue for us to migrate from v2 to v3 only by the given migrations tasks from the documentation.

it works fine if version v3.1 or higher is used for greenlight-v3 side
