Migrate from Windows Server to Synology

[andcbii 12]

I've read this post:

 

http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/10427-how-to-migrate-emby-server/

 

but I have one question. Where/how do I move these files to the synology. How do I access the configuration files on the synology?

[Tuxedo 2]

The folder is wherever /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var is linked to. After ssh'ing in as admin I navigated there and executing a pwd -P that revealed I was in /volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/var, so YMMV.

 

All the files/folders in that directory are permissioned to embysvr:users and I couldn't rsync the files over with admin, so what I ended up doing was copying the folders to a shared location I could reach as my user, and then moved them into place using sudo.

 

Afterward, a sudo -R embysvr:users * in the folder fixed all the permissions. Following the rest of the guide got me up and running.

Hello

 

Thanks for response @@Tuxedo, that's pretty much it. The path /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var will always reference the correct location and will not change across releases, so this is the best one to use.

 

On the last line, the chown appears to have got lost along the way.

 

For anybody else reading, just to be 100% clear, make sure you change directory to /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var before running the change owner command.

 

I would suggest, to be safe:-

sudo chown -R embysvr:users /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var/*

Best

Will this process also migrate the played-state?

No, I would suggest the backup plugin for that. you can learn more here:
