[BlueOnyx:27449] Aventurin{e} 6110R: OpenVZ 7 to 6110R Container import simplified

[Michael Stauber]

Hi all,

Existing clients with older Aventurin{e} 6109R probably have OpenVZ 7 
Containers that they want to move to Aventuri{e} 6110R, which runs Incus.

We already had a procedure for that using the Incus import utility. But 
it wasn't pretty and involved too many manual steps.


Enter "Easy Migrate" for OpenVZ -> Incus:
==========================================

Aventurin{e} 6110R v1.2.1-1 now includes a custom migration script that 
allows to directly import BlueOnyx 5210R Containers (also Debian 10, 11, 
12 or 13 CTs) directly from OpenVZ.

The script does a full import of the existing OpenVZ 7 container, keeps 
the configuration as similar as the architecture allows, enables secure 
VLANs for the imported Container *and* makes all the changes inside the 
Container to make it run under Incus on Aventurin{e} 6110R.

[root at incus ~]# /usr/sausalito/sbin/ovz7ct_to_incus.sh
This script can migrate OpenVZ 7 CTs (Debian 10/11/12/13 or BlueOnyx 
5210R) to Incus.
Usage: /usr/sausalito/sbin/ovz7ct_to_incus.sh --vpsid <VPS_ID> --node 
<NODE> --port <SSH_PORT> --name <CONTAINER_NAME> --gateway <GATEWAY>

The full documentation and example output is provided here:

https://www.aventurin.net/index.php?page=import-debian-or-blueonyx-5210r-ct-from-openvz

This really simplifies the procedure of moving forward to Aventurin{e} 
6110R.

Like said: This script is for importing BlueOnyx 5210R and Debian >= 10, 
as these are the most common Containers that one might want to move from 
OpenVZ 7 to Incus. If you need to import anything else? Let me know and 
I might expand a bit on the script in the future.
