Migrate from QS Reremake mySQL database to QS Hikari mySQL database

[Bloodlex]

Hello 🙂,

I would like to ask if you could give me a step by step instruction how to migrate from QS Reremake with mySQL database to QS Hikari with mySQL database.

I saw the instructions for a file storage, but I'm not sure how to proceed with already existing database.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Bloodlex

The following is outdated,Please check the link first

If you need self migrating, here is steps:

1. Execute /qs export to export your QuickShop-Reremake database as JSON.
2. Stop your server, backup EVERYTHING (include worlds, playerdatas, plugins, plugin files, databases).
3. Remove QuickShop-Reremake's jar from your server, upload QuickShop-Hikari's jar.
4. Rename QuickShop directory to QuickShop-Hikari, keep all files inside, don't touch them.
5. Fire up your server, waiting QuickShop-Hikari resolving the dependencies, self-testing and check mirating availablity.
6. If all checks passed, you need follow to create a continue.txt in QuickShop data folder, then converting will start.
7. After migrating finished, stop your server, open config.yml, turn on legacy updater:

legacy-updater:
  shop-sign: false # set this to true

8. Re-configure your interaction.yml and price-restriction.yml.
9. If possible, you can delete your config.yml, group.yml, interaction.yml, items-lookup.yml, price-restriction.yml, let plugin regenerate them to start up in fresh configuration to avoid strange issues (don't forget re-enable legacy-updater, otherwise all Reremake info signs will be unrecognized.

Please note that Hikari's data structure and storage method are very different from those of Remake, so if there is no backup, it cannot be rolled back.

Hey 🙂

Thank you very much, you are very kind 🙂 I'll do a full backup and try to do it myself following your instructions, but if something would break, I'll be glad if you could assist me in that. I really appreciate, that you are always so nice and helpful 🙂.

I will get back to you with details after the migration, hopefully everything will go as planned 🙂.

Best regards
