I have a old synology DS 412+ and just got a DS 1019+. And was wondering if people have had success with migrating from one NAS to another NAS? Found the wiki article about how to but sounds like many have has issues. Was wondering what the best way to move from one NAS to another NAS for someone that is not so experienced?
Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5322
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows):
OS: DSM 6.2.1-23824
Debug logs:
Description of issue:
presuming you mean just moving sonarr
otherwise if you mean the full NAS then its
just remember to never pull out a drive while the NAS is powered on and you’ll be ok
both have 64bit CPUs (Intel Atom D2700 vs Intel Celeron J3455) so you wont have to worry about that side
Yeah I already have my media on my 1019+. And installed Sonarr/ Radarr/SABnzbd (did a clean install with the new nas). Just was not 100% how to restore all my settings from the old machine onto the new one
I did find this. but my understanding of Linux and Root SSH access is very little
Restore for Synology NAS
CAUTION: Restoring on a Synology requires knowledge of Linux and Root SSH access to the Synology Device.
Re-install Sonarr
Run Sonarr once to get the AppData directory location
Stop Sonarr
Connect to the Synology NAS through SSH and log in as root
Execute the following commands:
rm -r /usr/local/nzbdrone/var/.config/NzbDrone/nzbdrone.db*
cp -f /tmp/nzbdrone_backup/* /usr/local/nzbdrone/var/.config/NzbDrone/
Update permissions on the files:
cd /usr/local/nzbdrone/var/.config/NzbDrone/
chown -R nzbdrone:users *
chmod -R 0644 *
On some installations, the user is different: chown -R sc-nzbdrone:nzbdrone *
Start Sonarr
presuming you have enabled SSH then thats not going to work as you have to login as admin now, same password as root though.
you can do a sudo -i once logged in if you need actual root user access
im presuming you still have the old nas up so it might be simpler to do this if you dont want to muck around with SSH
/data volume/data volume on the new nasonce its restored you should be back to normal
long term you may want to look at using docker containers for sonarr, radarr, and sab, as it makes it incredibly easy to upgrade, move around, and get at any of their files, if you have a need to, and as they are isolated from DSM you can upgrade it and/or them without any impact on each other.
thanks. still having a hard time. can’t locate the ?data volume? Its not showing in File station. I would love to use Docker but been trying to read about it and I think its a bit harder for me to do. Any sugetstions on a place that can show me how its done? not much on youtube using Docker/ Synology
what was the path you were looking for? file station wont show the underlying /volumeX, just the shared folders so if your path is not under a shared folder you may need to use SSH to connect and then copy it to a location that is.
for docker i dont use the GUI in DSM i manually run it but you dont have to, you can just create it in DSM and it will work. i just followed the sort of instructions on the dockerhub sonarr page (https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/sonarr/) after mashing what fits from that into the docker GUI for DSM (most of it goes into the advanced options)
if you do go down the docker route also remember that its probably easier to containerise your download client as well. if you dont then you have to be careful of the path it uses to store the completed downloads, it must be something you can map into the sonarr container or youll need to setup a remote path mapping in sonarr to turn it into something that can be mapped
i havent seen a video or a web site that lays that out step by step, especially for DSM, just lots of others about different applications but you can pick up stuff from those as most of it is pretty generic
