littlegreen Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hi all, I am looking for a way to migrate a dedicated server from a linux to another linux host. On my iMac, I have VMWare Fusion running Ubuntu 18.04, which hosts my server. I want to move this to a native linux install - and I do have a Linux Mint-based machine. On my Virtual Ubuntu, I have the server installed as a super user to /usr/games/7dtds/ I've copied the folder (which is currently 6.8GB) to the same directory of the other machine. Installed Steamcmd and have done: login anonymous force_install_dir /usr/games/7dtds/ #and executed the ./startserver.sh -dedicated -configfile=serverconfig.xml #command as superuser. The server starts, however, a new world appears to be generated and characters start fresh. Can anyone tell me if I need to migrate some other files in order to keep the progress, or is it something else entirely that I need to do?

littlegreen Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hi again, I've made some progress - though it's not really a progress, as long as it's not the save-game copied, I suppose. I found files in /home/<username>/.local/share/7DaysToDie/ It looks like this folder contains the savegame. This is very odd, since I remember installing as a superuser - but nevermind. Since the username is actually the same - I simply migrated this folder over to the native linux. However, regardless of whether I start the server as superuser or a normal user, the savegame is not migrated. Any ideas will be very much welcome.

Guppycur Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Does the serverconfig point to that folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlegreen Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Does the serverconfig point to that folder? I didn't realize it has to point to anything anywhere? It's just the same serverconfig.xml for both. Can you tell me where this needs to be edited? Thanks! littlegreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
