1. Decide on components use

By default, RhodeCode stack uses Redis and Postgres. We recommend using those in Docker as things like backup/restore are much easier, and possible to run by our installer

If you plan to use your own redis or DB, disable those services in :file:`.custom/docker-compose-services.override.yaml` by setting replicas: 0

TODO: SEE COMPONENT CONFIGURATION

Select your DB type by commenting postgres or mysql db in :file:`.custom/docker-compose-services.override.yaml` For Sqlite, disable both DB types.

2. Copy over your old configuration into new shared config dir

cp rhodecode.ini to config/_shared/rhodecode_old.ini
cp vcsserver.ini to config/_shared/vcsserver_old.ini

Then compare the new files e.g :file:`rhodecode.ini` with :file:`rhodecode_old.ini` and adjust accordingly, most important are location of storages/redis/db connection urls.

3. launch stack based on get started

Run an init command & launch the full stack

./rcstack init
./rcstack stack all up -d

4. make a db dump

If docker-based DB is selected, otherwise this step can be skipped.

create a backup of your existing database, so it can be migrated to docker instance. If you plan to use you old running DB, this step can be omitted. Adjust rhodecode.ini to point your docker rhodecode to old DB

5. restore db

If docker-based DB is selected Restore the database into docker container running DB
