Hej everyone, I want share my weekend project: moved 50 clients from cPanel to Hestia on one server, malý script helped lot

Problem was manual work, very boring, check dns, check mail, check database, all by hand. So I made bash script for pre-check, then rsync for data, then hestia cli for recreate accounts

On server I run first: check if domain resolves, if mail mx correct, if database size under limit. Into config I put thresholds. Script output report, I fix problem before migration start

Took friday evening for prep, saturday for move, sunday for dns flip and watch. 48 clients zero issue, 2 had wrong dns I catch in pre-check

I put script on my git, maybe helps someone. No more cPanel tax

boot anything, anywhere, anytime

Cat clients.csv | grep active | cut -d, -f3 | while read domain | do dig +short $domain | grep target_ip | echo "ok" || echo "fail" | done | tee precheck.log | grep fail | wc -l | this is the way | no manual clicking | no eyeballing dns panels | pipeline or death | sed 's/cPanel/freedom/g'

Thread derailed into feature creep. OP asked for help, got twenty pull requests and demands.

Locked. Take it to DMs.

Viet van here I try your script on my hos, very good, I add check for ssl certificate before flip, very important for client peace of mind ạ

I also add telegram notification when each account finish, very useful for weekend sleep ạ

Thank you for share, you save me many weekend work ạ
