Is there an established procedure for migrating data from one server to another with a different hostname?
I tried using the backup and restore feature from our live server to restore on our sandbox to save time configuring the same settings ready for training but it/I bricked my destination server. Not sure if it was the data restore that bricked it or some other action but I thought I’d ask here before trying again and getting the same issue again.
Any hints or tips appreciated

Public address setting is probably the main culprit, it should be adjustable via the docker compose yaml, or if you’re on an older install, I think there’s a bin/cake command that might work - Docker Install
The other place you’ll get tripped up is the license key when upgrading - will need to update that with your test key.
When you say license key does that only apply if we’re using enterprise or does the activation key for the community edition also need changing?
We are going to use enterprise eventually, but at the point where the team is ready to start using the additional features
Does anyone know if there a way to migrate the configuration/settings without taking the data? This will same me time in reconfiguring without changing the public address/ activation /license key etc but I’ll still have my AD authentication settings, business units etc all configured
Yes, the enterprise key is only used for activating the enterprise license, so you can ignore that part.
All manuals and instructions can be found here: Docker Install
It is not possible to migrate settings only.
