How To Copy NodeBB Installation from One Server to Another

[Febian]

Hello there,

I'm new with NodeBB but I'm really happy with it
Recenty I have install NodeBB and made some customization in my development server
Now it's ready to live and time to migrate NodeBB installation to my main server

How to migrate NodeBB installation in a correct way?
Should I reinstall NodeBB again from scratch?

Thank you so much for your help

@Febian What kind of customization have you done ? Did you changed file or data on the database ?

[Febian]

@Nifty nope..only some style & template customization, I'm not modify anything on the database
however it already has several discussion which I also want to migrate

PS:
I never had experience with Node.js based platform like NodeBB before

Previously I always work with PHP & MySQL based platform which quite easy to migrate by copying the file and import the database on the new server

@Febian And you have a Nodebb already installed on the destination system ?

not yet @Nifty

@Febian This mean you need to install all neccesary software components on your server and after that just copy databasefiles & the nodebb files to it and fire it up.
