Hi,
I am not sure if this is an issue really more than just a question.
I want to switch machines for my current one is a bit old and it is becoming slow. So the question is, how do I move all my wocker projects from my old mac to my new one ensuring that everything will run seamlessly on the new machine?
I presume first thing first is that I have to install wocker on the new machine which I have. Do I have to copy the whole of the data directory and manually export the databases or is there another simpler way?Many Thanks for Wocker. It has really eased by WP development process.
Hi @joeynimu ,
Sorry for the inconvenience. You have to manually export the databases and copy the whole of the data directory to your new machine. On your new machine, wocker run --name EXISTINGSITE will create a container using existing files. Then, wocker wp db import wordpress.sql will put the site back.
There is another way: https://gist.github.com/ailispaw/1e8f87f0a0def8e09351479d5adc1492. This tool packages a single container including files and the database to a Docker image. You can push it to Docker Hub, and pull it from your new machine. I'm planning to merge this into Wocker's next version.
Hope this helps :)
