Metabase Migrate

[Kolotayo]

Dear All,

I have most of my Metabase dashboard on my Local Instance on my Local Machine but i want be able to replicate the same on my LIVE instance.

Is there a way i can just Backup and Restore to a different Location?

You can backup and restore the entire database. There's no way to migrate portions yet.
More discussion here:

Copy dashboards and questions from one server to another

I’m a BI consultant and normally work on a local server before deploying ‘stuff’ to a customer’s live server. Is it possible to take parts of a metabase install from one server to another? I’d like to be able to migrate/overwrite data definitions, questions and dashboards without overwriting a customer’s users and other data.

Thank You for your response @AndrewMBaines

@AndrewMBaines is there a way i can start Metabase without using the code below everytime?

java -jar metabase.jar

In Windows:

Run Metabase as a windows service!

I have created a windows service that attempts to start metabase. But the attempt times out. Has anyone got this installed as a windows service and started it successfully?

I'm still learning the Linux side.

to anyone who needs it. I’ve made some scripts for different type of “copying” or “migrating” dashboards from one metabase to another. you can check it out on my github repo : GitHub - slavashaz/Metabase-Dashboard-Cloner: script that can copy your dashboard and link it to another db. · GitHub

if you guys need anything else, just let me know in “issues” sections.
