The result can be imported using the `./manage.py import` command. Things that are exported: * All user-accessible data in the Zulip database (Messages, Streams, UserMessages, RealmEmoji, etc.) * Copies of all uploaded files and avatar images along with metadata needed to restore them even in the ab Things that are not exported: * Confirmation and PreregistrationUser (transient tables) * Sessions (everyone will need to login again post-export) * Users' passwords and API keys (users will need to use SSO or reset password) * Mobile tokens for APNS/GCM (users will need to reconnect their mobile devices) * ScheduledEmail (Not relevant on a new server) * RemoteZulipServer (Unlikely to be migrated) * third_party_api_results cache (this means rerending all old messages could be expensive) Things that will break as a result of the export: * Passwords will not be transferred. They will all need to go through the password reset flow to obtain a new password (unless they intend to only use e.g. Google Auth). * Users will need to logout and re-login to the Zulip desktop and mobile apps. The apps now all have an option on the login page where you can specify which Zulip server to use; your users should enter . * All bots will stop working since they will be pointing to the wrong server URL, and all users' API keys have been rotated as part of the migration. So to re-enable your integrations, you will need to direct your integrations at the new server. Usually this means updating the URL and the bots' API keys. You can see a list of all the bots that have been configured for your realm on the `/#organization` page, and use that list to make sure you migrate them all. The proper procedure for using this to export a realm is as follows: * Use `./manage.py deactivate_realm` to deactivate the realm, so nothing happens in the realm being exported during the export process. * Use `./manage.py export` to export the realm, producing a data tarball. * Transfer the tarball to the new server and unpack it. * Use `./manage.py import` to import the realm * Use `./manage.py reactivate_realm` to reactivate the realm, so users can login again. * Inform the users about the things broken above. We recommend testing by exporting without having deactivated the realm first, to make sure you have the procedure right and minimize downtime. Performance: In one test, the tool exported a realm with hundreds of users and ~1M messages of history with --threads=1 in about 3 hours of serial runtime (goes down to ~50m with --threads=6 on a machine with 8 CPUs). Importing that same data set took about 30 minutes. But this will vary a lot depending on the average number of recipients of messages in the realm, hardware, etc.""" # Fix support for multi-line usage def create_parser(self, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> ArgumentParser: parser = super().create_parser(*args, **kwargs) parser.formatter_class = RawTextHelpFormatter return parser def add_arguments(self, parser: ArgumentParser) -> None: parser.add_argument('--output', dest='output_dir', action="store", default=None, help='Directory to write exported data to.') parser.add_argument('--threads', dest='threads', action="store", default=6, help='Threads to use in exporting UserMessage objects in parallel') self.add_realm_args(parser, True) def handle(self, *args: Any, **options: Any) -> None: realm = self.get_realm(options) assert realm is not None # Should be ensured by parser output_dir = options["output_dir"] if output_dir is None: output_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix="/tmp/zulip-export-") else: output_dir = os.path.realpath(output_dir) if os.path.exists(output_dir): shutil.rmtree(output_dir) os.makedirs(output_dir) print("Exporting realm %s" % (realm.string_id,)) num_threads = int(options['threads']) if num_threads < 1: raise CommandError('You must have at least one thread.') do_export_realm(realm, output_dir, threads=num_threads) print("Finished exporting to %s; tarring" % (output_dir,)) do_write_stats_file_for_realm_export(output_dir) tarball_path = output_dir.rstrip('/') + '.tar.gz' os.chdir(os.path.dirname(output_dir)) subprocess.check_call(["tar", "-czf", tarball_path, os.path.basename(output_dir)]) print("Tarball written to %s" % (tarball_path,))
