Forge Move

forge_move is utility for moving websites from one server to another. I developed this for Laravel Forge servers, however it will work with any linux server. It will detect the type of website and backup both the database and website files and copy them to the destination server and restore the DB on that server.

Requirements

• Rust 1.74 or newer
• mysqldump
• gzip
• Password-less SSH access configured between servers

Rust toolchain

To install the rust toolchain, run the following command

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Installation

To install forge_move, ensure you have the Rust toolchain installed, then run:

cargo install forge_move

Usage

To use forge_move, run the following command:

forge_backup [OPTIONS]

Options

• --dir <WEBSITE_FOLDER>: Specify where the website files are.
• --server <DEST_SERVER>: Specify the destination server.
• --target <TARGET_FOLDER>: Specify the target folder on the new server.
• -h, --help: Print help information.
• -V, --version: Print version information.

Example

forge_move --dir . --server new-server --target /home/new_user/some-site.com.au
