Could add migration guide into wiki

Open Jortana opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I think it would be useful to add a guide on the wiki about how to migrate existing saves to Docker.

I have tried the method of migrating server saves from a Windows environment to Docker. Here is my steps:

  1. Copy the save from your old dedicated server to your new dedicated server.
  2. In the PalServer\Pal\Saved\Config\LinuxServer\GameUserSettings.ini file of the new server, change the DedicatedServerName to match your save's folder name. For example, if your save's folder name is 2E85FD38BAA792EB1D4C09386F3A3CDA, the DedicatedServerName changes to DedicatedServerName=2E85FD38BAA792EB1D4C09386F3A3CDA.
  3. Delete the entire new server save at PalServer\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\0\<your_save_here>, and replace it with the folder from the old server.
  4. Restart the new server and have fun.

This repository could be helpful. However, I didn't migrate my saves according to the guide in the repository. My intuition told me it didn't need to be that complicated, and indeed, the outcome proved I was right.

I think add some guide would be helpful. 😃 😃 👍

Also, I'm taking effort to write a script so that we can migrate simplefully.

However, the prerequisite is that the migration solution we have is authentic and effective.
