Migrating from old bench

Migrating from old bench

• Install new bench

   cd ~
   git clone https://github.com/frappe/bench-repo
   sudo pip install -e bench-repo
  

• Remove unnessesary files

   cd ~/frappe-bench
   rm -rf install_scripts scripts templates standard_apps.json Readme.md .gitignore .git .update_bench
  

• Remove old crontab entries, check if you have crontab entries from the previous bench by running crontab -l and remove them by editing the crontab using crontab -e.

• Setup bench

   cd ~/frappe-bench
   bench setup config							# sets up config.json
   bench setup backups							# sets up auto backup every 6hrs
   bench setup auto-update						# auto updates bench and your erpnext instance every day at 10AM
   sudo bench setup sudoers					# required to restart supervisor (if production is setup)
   bench config restart_supervisor_on_update on# restart supervisor automatically after update (if production is setup)
  

If all goes well, you should be able to switch to the new bench without any downtime.
