Migrating Ghost Data
It's been a while since I've updated anything here, and I've done a bit lately so I thought I would drop a line in.
I wasn't utilizing my AWS EC2 vm, and since the free trial ran out eons ago I decided to switch to a t3a.nano instance and save some money. This meant moving my Ghost install off the old vm, which mean migrating the data from a pre-1.0 to post-2.0 Ghost install.
This meant upgrading my data export by version-hopping it:
- Exporting the data from the pre-1.0 install
- Installing Ghost 1.0
- Importing the data into the 1.0 install
- Exporting the data from the 1.0 install
- Installing Ghost 2.0
- Importing the data into the 2.0 install
I also took the opportunity to update my Ghost theme to 1.0 and 2.0, but ultimately I preferred the default theme anyway and just modified that one to suit my needs.
