Migrate Bold BI application from Azure App service to Docker.

This section explains how to migrate the Bold BI application from an Azure App Service to a Docker. 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 Azure app service to Docker.

1. Open the storage account created for the Bold BI ARM template and move on to the containers for taking app_data backup.
   
   
2. Now, download all folders inside the boldbicontainer in local machine folder [example: azurecontainer] using Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer tool.
   
   
3. From the local machine, a new folder needs to be created for Docker migration [example: app_data].
4. From the folder, you need to copy all the folders from the Azurecontainer/boldservices/app_data/ and move them to the app_data/.
   
   
5. Copy all folders from the Azurecontainer/dashboard server/ and move them to app_data/bi/.
   
   
6. Restore the app_data folder in the Docker environment app_data mounted path.
7. 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.boldbi.com/ums/administration
   • Update the new DNS/IP and enable the checkbox.
     
     
   • After updating the new IP/DNS, save the changes.
8. Stop the ARM site and restart the Bold BI container using below command.

   docker restart <container ID>
   

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