Migrate sbarjatiya.com VM

VM creation on AWS

1. Create a new AWS account
2. Create a CentOS 7.x VM with updates VM is same region and availability zone as previous VM with. Disk space should be at least same as previous VM.
3. Obtain a elastic IP and associate with the VM
4. Add entry in /etc/hosts of current machine with appropriate name for new elastic IP (eg newcommonhosting)
5. Log into older AWS account using private browser
6. Add entry in /etc/hosts of previous VM with appropriate name for previous elastic IP (eg oldcommonhosting)
7. SSH to oldVM
8. Set correct hostname using

   hostname oldcommonhosting

9. Update /etc/hostname with oldcommonhosting name
10. Exit from SSH and reconnect and verify oldcommonhosting name appears
11. SSH to new VM using centos and root may not work
12. Do "sudo su -" on new VM to get root console
13. Install vim

    yum -y install vim

14. Set correct hostname in /etc/hostname
15. Set hostname for current run

    hostname newcommonhosting

16. Edit /root/.ssh/authorized_keys and allow direct root ssh (150x on first line)

    Also copy saurabh@labpc as authorized on new VM root account

17. Exit from new VM and SSH again as root without using any additional identity apart from saurabh@labpc. Verify newcommonhosting name appears.
18. Fully update the VM to latest packages

    yum -y update --skip-broken

19. Create swap file as mentioned at CentOS 7.x adding swap space using file
20. Configure security group commonhosting-sg with same rules as existing VM. That is access to
    • SSH (22)
    • HTTP (80), HTTPS (443)
    • SMTP (25), SMTPS (465)
    • Custom Alt-web (8080)
    • ICMP echo-request

    from anywhere

21. Reboot the new VM

Package installations

1. yum -y install epel-release wget
2. Copy old servers public key as authorized on new server. Run 'ssh-keygen' on old server if there is no existing public key.
3. Create /etc/hosts entry on old server for pointing to new server
4. ssh from oldserver to newserver with name (eg newcommonhosting) and accept the ssh fingerprint of new host
5. setenforce 0 on new server
6. edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and set SELINUX=disabled on new server
7. rsync /mnt/data1 from old server to new server

   rsync -aHz --delete /mnt/data1/ root@newcommonhosting:/mnt/data1/

   Since this will take time, leave this shell running and open new root shell for previous server

8. Use Storing date / time along with commands in history
9. Exit and ssh again to newcommonhosting for history settings to take effect

Copy user accounts and home folders

1. Run following commands:

   rsync /etc/{passwd,shadow,group} root@newcommonhosting:/etc/
   rsync -aHz /home/ root@newcommonhosting:/home/
   rsync -aHz --exclude ".ssh"  --exclude ".bash_history" /root/ root@newcommonhosting:/root/

2. If ssh to new server from old server stops then due to unprotected private key error then use:

   chmod 600 /etc/ssh/*

   on new server to fix the issue

Configure email system

1. service postfix stop
2. chkconfig postfix off
3. yum -y install sendmail
4. verify in /etc/hosts first line has 127.0.0.1 <hostname> where hostname matches output of hostname command. There can be other names after hostname but first value should be hostname
5. service sendmail start
6. chkconfig sendmail on

3. su - sbarjatiya
4. cd ~/erlang/applications/interpreter; erlc *.erl
5. cd ~/erlang/applications/wol_application; erlc *.erl
6. cd ~/erlang/erlangcentral.com; erlc *.erl
7. vim start_yaws.sh
   • Replace old hostname with new hostname
8. vim start_applications.erl
   • Replace old hostname with new hostname
9. erlc *.erl
10. ./start_yaws.sh
11. yaws --ls
12. exit from sbarjatiya user

Configure DNS

1. yum -y install bind bind-utils
2. rsync -vaH /etc/named.conf to new server
3. rsync -vaH /var/named/* to new server /var/named
4. service named start
5. chkconfig named on

Configure MySQL and migrate databases

2. Note old public IP and new public IP properly
3. Add /etc/hosts entry for old public IP
4. Change DNS as follows on godaddy.com:
   • rekallsoftware.com :: @
   • energyconservationclub.in :: @
   • erlangcentral.com :: @
   • pbarjatiya.com :: @
   • sbarjatiya.com :: @
5. Shutdown old VM (Do not release elastic IP yet)
6. Check following URLs:
   • http://www.rekallsoftware.com/
   • http://www.sbarjatiya.com/
   • http://www.sbarjatiya.com/notes_wiki/
   • http://www.energyconservationclub.in/
   • http://pbarjatiya.com/
