HentaiAtHome Service Migration Nov 5th 2018 Words: 1.1k
This post is created 2 years ago, the content may be outdated.

For some reasons, I need to migrate my [email protected] service to a VPS on another hosting provider. After the procedure, I wrote this article for reference in the future.

Cleanup the Old One

Before begin, check whether the original host has sufficient outbound traffic quota.

First, exit [email protected] on the original host peacefully so that the Trust will not be harmed. 

1
sudo systemctl stop hentaiathome

Move Data to the New Place

Now it’s time to work on configurations on the new VPS.

To connect the original host, the ssh key is needed. 

1
2
sudo vim original-host.key
# Paste the private key, then save & exit.

Use SCP to pull all the data from the original host.

# Of course you should use screen for this job
screen -R
scp -r -i origianl-host.key [email protected]:/path/to/old/hath /path/to/new/hath
# Don't forget to remove the temporary key
rm original-host.key

Usually it’s better to package the data before migration, but my original host is already run out of disk space.

There’s tons of data to transfer, so now it’s BREAK TIME! 😀

Setup the New Server

Verify the migrated cache file first. The HentaiAtHome may prompt for client ID and client key on first run. Make sure the account that runs the program has the access to cache files. 

1
2
cd /path/to/hath/
java -jar /newHentaiAtHome --verify-cache

After verification, add new user for [email protected], and also change the ownership of your new data: 

1
2
sudo useradd -m --shell /usr/sbin/nologin hath
sudo chown -R hath:hath /path/to/hath/new

Use systemd unit file
