This section explains how to migrate the Bold BI application from a Kubernetes environment to a Docker environment. It is assumed that the Bold BI DB server has public access, either through a Managed instance or a server deployed in an online VM. To migrate the database, you can refer to this article: link. Follow the steps below to migrate the Bold BI instance from Kubernetes to Docker.

1. Back up the app_data files from the Fileshare using the document below, according to your cloud provider’s specifications.

   Cluster Provider	Help Link
   EKS File storage	https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/awsbackup.html
   AKS File storage	https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-afs
   GKE File storage	https://cloud.google.com/filestore/docs/backups

2. Deploy the Bold BI application in the Docker environment with DNS by following this document.
3. Restore the backup app_data in the app data mounted path.
4. Follow the steps below if you are using a new DNS/IP for the Docker environment. If you are using the same DNS, then you can switch to the next step directly.
   • Navigate to [new DNS]/ums/administration in the browser:
     https://docker-migrate.boldbidemo.com/ums/administration
   • Update the new DNS/IP and enable the checkbox.
     
     
   • After updating the new IP/DNS, save the changes.
5. Stop the Kubernetes site and restart the Bold BI container using below command.

   docker restart <container ID>
   

6. Now, the Bold BI application has been completely migrated from Kubernetes to the Docker environment. You can access Bold BI with the same login credentials.
