Migration from CyberPanel to Virtualmin

General Discussion
1

Hello,
I am running Cyber Panel and I want to shift all websites and email data to Virtualmin.

Is there any tool or method?

Or else is there any way to transfer all emails data from Cyber Panel to Virtualmin? Cyber Panel runs Snappymail Interface and Postfix Service.

Thanks

Cyber Panel is new - it has hardly any market penetration so there are unlikely to be tools available which can migrate away from Cyber Panel. You will have to do this the old-fashioned way, I am afraid.

  1. transfer web content from Cyber Panel to Virtualmin via FTP / rsync
  2. transfer databases via mysqldump
  3. transfer mail via imapsync

If you are a Webmin / Virtualmin newbie and wish to have a quick 10 minute paid chat with me about this, you could do that in addition to interacting with the very helpful community via this forum.

Not that new I tried it out about 4 years ago, I found it awful, it appears to be designed to suit certain peices of software i.e the web server is not apache or nginx which gives all sorts of issues with certain deployed web sites. To pull the mail out of it, copy the mail to a local folder in perhaps thunderbird so you have a backup then after you have installed virtualmin use a thunderbird plugin to move the mail back. To be fair my experience with cyberpanel was negative

Perhaps I should have said “relatively new”. :slight_smile:

@wms,

If you require assistance with Migration to your new server / Virtualmin I can assist you. I use a somewhat “manual” process though I can also get Virtualmin provisioned in a manner that meets your needs now and in the future.

I work through a “screen sharing” session so you can see what is going on, can learn, ask questions and watch the magic happen.

Drop me a PM if you’d like to discuss this opportunity.

Thanks Mr @calport

As your recommendation I used “imapsync”. It worked perfect and all emails were migrated.

For files I manually downloaded and re-uploaded them to new server.

Hello Mr Peter @tpnsolutions

If in future if I need your screen sharing assistance I will surely contact you.

Have a good day ahead!

Hello, Mr @calport and Mr @Joe,

I am facing 2 issues mainly after shifting to Virtualmin.

First: I have server hostname to : s1.domain.com while installation but when I navigate it in browser it redirects to a website on my Virtualmin Server

Second: I want to use PHP 7.4 for a specific client website but I can not find the method. In the PHP Option page it doesn’t shows drop-down to change the version.

Moreover: Can I backup the websites to Google One storage?

Thanks

Thanks for letting us know, @wms. Your feedback will help others migrate from CyberPanel to Virtualmin, I am sure.

Yes Mr @jimr1 ,

The server was never stable even after fresh installation and on different supported Operating Systems.

Sometimes the email server stops randomly, sometimes SSL stops, and in the last opening the file manager showed a number of errors.

Most of the issues are not answered on forums too. The calobrators sometimes say to update the server but also after updating the issues persists on latest releases too.

I also never got any email replies from them.

Just the plus point is that they offer Google Drive Backup and a easier UI for users.

You can use a post backup script with virtualmin backups which, if you know how to do it, will allow you to copy the backups to google drive. I use dropbox for this, but virtualmin supports s3 and rackspace out of the box and if you use virtualmin pro there are other options
