# Migrating Data from Local Docker If you are migrating data from a Local Docker installation (17.0.1 and prior), you can migrate your data to the development environment via the migrate.yml playbook, or by using the manual steps described below. > Note: This will also convert your postgresql bind-mount into a docker volume. ### Migrate data with migrate.yml If you had a custom pgdocker or awxcompose location, you will need to set the `postgres_data_dir` and `old_docker_compose_dir` variables. 1. Run the [migrate playbook](./ansible/migrate.yml) to migrate your data to the new postgresql container and convert the data directory to a volume mount. ```bash $ ansible-playbook migrate.yml -e "migrate_local_docker=true" -e "postgres_data_dir=~/.awx/pgdocker" -e "old_docker_compose_dir=~/.awx/awxcompose" ``` 2. Change directory to the top of your awx checkout and start your containers ```bash $ make docker-compose ``` 3. After ensuring your data has been successfully migrated, you may delete your old data directory (typically stored at `~/.awx/pgdocker`). ### Migrating data manually 1. With Local Docker still running, perform a pg_dumpall: > Note: If Local Docker is no longer running `docker-compose -f ~/.awx/awxcompose/docker-compose.yml up postgres` ```bash $ docker-compose -f ~/.awx/awxcompose/docker-compose.yml exec postgres pg_dumpall -U awx > awx_dump.sql ``` 2. Remove all local docker containers (specifically awx_postgres) ```bash $ docker -f rm awx_postgres ``` 3. Template the new docker-compose.yml ```bash $ ansible-playbook -i tools/ansible/inventory tools/ansible/sources.yml ``` 4. Start a container with a volume (using the new tools/docker-compose/_sources/docker-compose.yml) ```bash $ docker-compose -f ../docker-compose/_sources/docker-compose.yml up postgres ``` 5. Restore to new `awx_postgres` ```bash $ docker-compose -f ../docker-compose/_sources/docker-compose.yml exec -T postgres psql -U awx -d awx -p 5432 < awx_dump.sql ``` 6. Run the docker-compose.yml to start the containers ```bash $ docker-compose -f ../docker-compose/_sources/docker-compose.yml up task ``` 7. Check to ensure your data migration was successful, then you can delete your the `awx_dump.sql` backup and your old data directory.
