How to Migrate Cpanel to Eenos

Start migration from Cpanel to Eenos

Some sample conversion commands and syntax are given below:

Convert a Cpanel backup file to Eenos Backup file

You can convert a cpanel backup file to Eenos backup file. The cpanel backup file must be a .tar or .tar.gz file.

This operation can be performed  from any server , there is no need for cpanel installed. You only need to cptoeenos tool.

Syntax:

cptoeenos --saveto /path-to-save-converted-backup --backupfile /path-to-cpanel-account-backup-file

Where,

  • /path-to-save-converted-backup , is a folder name to save the converted backup files
  • /path-to-cpanel-account-backup-file,  is the full path to cpanel backup file

Example:

We are going to convert a cpanel backup name backup-10.14.2023_16-20-05_mycpuser.tar.gz and store the converted backup into the folder /backup. The command is as follows:

cp2eenos --saveto /backup --backupfile /home/backup-10.14.2023_16-20-05_mycpuser.tar.gz

This will generate a backup on /backup/eenosbkp-myuser.tar.gz . You may upload this backup file to your  Eenos server and restore it.

To know how to restore a backup in Eenos Control Panel , please check he restoration documentation.

Convert WHM Hosting Packages to Eenos Hosting Packages

The migration of whm hosting packages to Eenos hosting packages are easy.

You need to install cptoeenos in your Cpanel server to perform this task.

Please use the following command to convert WHM hosting packages.

cptoeenos --saveto /backup --packages

This will convert all you hosting packages from whmcs server and place it into a folder name EenosHostingPackages  inside your save path .

Here the converted package location will be in /backup/EenosHostingPackages

You may now copy or upload  all .yaml files from this folder into /var/eenos/packages/ of your Eenos server

Please make sure to change ownership of all files inside /var/eenos/packages/  will have the eenos user ownerships

chown eenos:eenos /var/eenos/packages/*

If the WHM package name contains white spaces or dots, it will be replaced with a hyphen in Eenos during the package conversion.

Convert Cpanel Account

You can convert a cpanel live account  into Eenos backup file.

You need to install cptoeenos in your Cpanel server to perform this task.

Syntax:

cp2eenos --saveto /backup --user cpusername

Where,

  • cpusername , is the cpanel account user name

The above command will generate an Eenos compatible backup of the user cpusername and place it into the location /backup/eenosbkp-cpusername.tar.gz

You may upload this backup file to your Eenos server and restore it.

It is safe to install and use cptoeenos in your production Cpanel server. This  tool doesn't make changes on server data or file. It will only copy the required data to the chosen destination. So it is always safe to use the tool in your production servers.

Convert the  Whole Cpanel Server

You can convert  all cpanel accounts  and whm hosting packages from your cpanel server  with a simple command.

Syntax:

cp2eenos --saveto /backup  --full

This command will perform the following actions:

  • Convert all cpanel accounts and place it into the folder /backup
  • Convert all whm hosting packages and place it into the folder /backup/EenosHostingPackages

Running Conversion in Server Background

You can run any conversion command in server backup ground using the flag --demon or -d

Example : Run the full server conversion in server background

cp2eenos --saveto /backup  --full --demon

Automatic upload of converted backups into remote server

You can attach a post upload script for the conversion process, so that your script will be executed after the  backup conversion. This will help you to run automatic upload of converted backups to your remote  Eenos server.

To run a post upload script , you may use the  flag --postupload path_to_script or -pu path_to_script

where,

  • path_to_script , is the your automation script , please make sure this script have execute permission.

This script will be provide with one command line argument which is the  backup save path.

Example : 

Convert the whole cpanel accounts and WHM packages then upload to a remove server using my post upload script /root/postupload.sh

cp2eenos --saveto /backup  --full --demon --postupload /root/postupload.sh

Here the conversion process will run in the sever background and execute the post upload script soon after finishing the cpanel account conversion process. 

CptoEenos Log Files

All conversion task will be logged to the file /var/log/cptoeenos.log  

For non-root users the log file will be  : $HOME/cptoeenos.log
