Question

How to move Manticore Search data to another drive ?

Hello,

I want to move my Manticore Search data to a different drive. So far my searches have been unsuccessful. I will soon have a disk space problem if I don’t move my data, so I need to be told the steps necessary to perform a safe migration.

Currently my data is stored in the default location, i.e. in /var/lib/manticore

One of my concerns (not very important I think): previously, I used this guide How To Move a MySQL Data Directory to a New Location on Ubuntu 18.04 to move my data from MySQL and I’m also wondering if in order to migrate my data from Manticore Search, a change in AppArmor’s configuration is required?

Currently the steps I think I need to perform :

sudo systemctl stop manticoresearch sudo systemctl status manticoresearch (to check if the service is stopped) sudo rsync -av /var/lib/manticore /mnt/{{new_drive_name}} sudo mv /var/lib/manticore /var/lib/manticore.bak

And from there I don’t know how to change the Manticore Search configurations.

Thank you in advance to anyone who will help me.

Hello

Your steps are correct. Changing Manticore Search configuration is super simple in this case: in Ubuntu you’ll need to just update data_dir in /etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf
