    Hi,

    I want to migrate my ISPconfig installation to a new server (from aws to hetzner). What is the best way to do that. Is there a how-to I can follow?

    thanks, Stefan

    Thanks Till, thats exactly what I'm looking for.

    I have the old server running on apache. Would you recommend switching to nginx on the new one? Does the migration tool support that?

    I'm also thinking about using rspamd instead of amavis. Whaot is your recommendation?

    thanks, Stefan

    No.

    It is possible, but most of your sites will probably need custom Nginx directives, so they will stop working after the migration until you created the custom config for each site.

    Use rspamd. We do not even test Amavis anymore on recent Linux versions, as rspamd is the default for many years now.

    unfortunately, this doesn't work out of the box.
    1) all DB-User credentials do not work - do I have to set them manually again?
    2) PHP Versions are mixed up, original upload_2026-4-7_19-28-14.png
    end up in
    upload_2026-4-7_19-28-57.png
    and default PHP is displayed as PHP5.6.
