Windows to Linux Migration

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with this? There isn’t much information available on the forums.

I have no issues with the inbound gateway on Linux (Docker), as it has been smooth sailing, easy to maintain, and serves its purpose well.

Because of that, I decided to migrate one small SmarterMail build from Windows to Linux. However, so far the experience has not been smooth. I followed the documentation as closely as possible to perform the migration. I am using the Docker method, as it will make future upgrades easier.

The system detected the format conversion, and during the first login attempt, I was unable to log in due to the following error:


{
    "message": "'SmarterMail.Web.Api.ConversionStatusController' does not contain a definition for 'Authenticate_Private'"
}

I have had a support ticket open for a few days, and they are still working on it.

One concern I have regarding their recent update is that, based on company policy, performing data migration via SSH/RDP is out of scope. This means that if production data encounters conversion issues, they would not be able to directly assist and can only provide guidance through the ticket.

Unfortunately per company policy, preforming data migration via SSH/RDP is out of scope but I can provide information and guidance.
